It's rare to see whisky from Balmenach, so when Signatory offered us the chance to have another cask bottled exclusively for us, we couldn't say no. Well-aged and packed with fruit, this is a excellent whisky from a lesser-known distillery.

Tasting Notes

Tasting Notes by Billy Abbott (TWE)
-
Nose
Fruit salad to start – orange segments, apples, pears and tinned peaches. Sharper and weightier notes build, with oily touches joined by cut grass, vanilla toffee and raisin-studded shortbread biscuits. Softly floral waxiness sits underneath, combining singed candle wicks with heather and honeysuckle.
-
Palate
The buttery biscuits of the nose leap to the fore, with whipped cream and warming woody spice – cinnamon, nutmeg and clove. Stewed apple peeks out from behind the spice, and charred staves and earthy dunnage notes sit beneath. Water unlocks fresh fruit and sweet cream.
-
Finish
Spicy to start, softening through apple pies and poached pears before liquorice and anise revive the heat.
-
Comment
Layers of fruit and spice with even more fruit revealed if you add a drop of water. Old-fashioned fruity whisky at its best.
