Tasting Notes

• Producer's Notes

  • Comment:

    In the 1980s, a few of the UK’s red telephone boxes were painted black, as the telecommunication industry moved into private ownership. While the iconic shape designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott did not change, these telephone boxes were stood in stark contrast to their red counterparts.

    Only a small amount of the whisky produced at St George’s distillery is heavily peated, adding a thick layer of smoky flavour to their fruity spirit. Like the black telephone boxes, these casks of whisky stand apart in style from their unpeated brethren.

  • Nose:

    Rich cocoa and dark spice with coastal notes, crashing waves and gentle ham smoke.

  • Palate:

    Sweet and rich with liquorice, blackcurrant, brown sugar and butter, with dusky burning peat.

  • Finish:

    Long and smoky, with butter toffee and sweet green leaves.
