Tasting Notes
Tasting Notes
Billy Abbott, The Whisky Exchange
Nose
Raisins and spice with leathery hints kick things off. The leather quick fades to reveal freshly polished oak and lightly spiced baked apples. Minty notes creep in around the edges, along with fresh, green leaves. These slowly sweeten into grassy spring meadows with stacks of hay around the edges.
Palate
Sweet and floral to start, with wax-polished oak as a backdrop. Slices of apple and pear follow, with candied flowers and a hint of both zingy lemon zest and bitter pith. There’s biscuits at the base – shortbread, and oatmeal and raisin cookies – all dipped in a bowl of single cream. Spice builds through the middle along with herbal leaves: mint, menthol and a sprinkle of cinnamon.
Finish
Polished oak leads to Garibaldi biscuits, lemon jelly and mint choc chips. Cream remains.
Comment
The dram is a bit of a journey. It’s more delicate than the notes above suggest, with a gentle, almost traditional lowland character of grass and hay. A dram that rewards dedication.
Caroline Roddis, The Whisky Exchange
Nose
Muddy boots fresh from forest floors, and November bonfires in the distance. Clinical lemon aromas are joined by glacé cherries, iced vanilla buns, and grape jelly. A touch of high-quality olive oil is joined by honeysuckle and burnt orange toffee.
Palate
Waxy, with vanilla toffee, honey and sticky crystalised ginger. Freshly-squeezed berry juice follows, then the cask makes its presence known and spicy oak notes build.
Finish
Heavier spice and dense ginger cake, fading to orange blossom honey.
Tom Ransome-Jones, The Whisky Exchange
Nose
Grapes and young Cognac, moving into slightly underripe green apples, apple wood and apple blossom. Develops further to become freshly cut shavings of dry oak.
Palate
Sparkling, tongue-crackling, oaky spice. A little aromatic apple again, with a touch of orange and a distant whiff of soft caramel.
Finish
More warm spice and powerful, dry orange.
Ning Heywood, The Whisky Exchange
Nose
Very gentle aromas of white heather, blossom honey, soft mal and lemon zest to open. Slowly caramel, freshly-baked sponge cask and vanilla develop.
Palate
Richer than the nose, it offers notes of shortbread, caramel, lemon curd, fresh ginger, set honey and malt start the palate off. Lighter notes of lemon zest, orange, summer flowers and cedar wood develop slowly.
Finish
Woodier and spicier than the palate, the finish offers notes of oak, ginger, black pepper, caramel and liquorice.
