Tasting Notes

Billy Abbott, The Whisky Exchange
- Nose
  Singed fruit cake – rich smoke layered with raisins, dark chocolate, buttered malt load, dark brown sugar and molasses. Liquorice builds, quickly swamped by raisin jam and buttery pastry: Eccles cakes dusted with golden-brown sugar.
- Palate
  Surprisingly soft and rounded, with dark chocolate truffles dosed with orange and lime. Mulchy leaves and autumn bonfires are joined by the sweet pastry from the nose. Liquorice, blackcurrants and raisin jam develop, with backup from bittersweet molasses and treacle toffee.
- Finish
  Dark chocolate, menthol and chocolate biscuits with lingering baking spice and citrus oil.

While the history of The Whisky Exchange starts in 1999, the story of co-founders Sukhinder and Rajbir’s family goes back decades further – this year we are celebrating their 50th year of working in the world of drinks. Back in the 1970s, their parents – Narinder and Bhupinder – founded The Nest, an off-license in Hanwell in west London. It grew over the next couple of decades to be a destination for spirits lovers worldwide, and Sukhinder and Rajbir continued the business online to create The Whisky Exchange. To celebrate, we’ve worked with some of the friends they’ve made over the years around the world to bottle a collection of exclusive whiskies that shows the family’s aim from day one – to introduce people to great-tasting drinks, no matter where they are from.
