Tasting Notes

Tasting Notes

  • Tasting Notes From The Producer

    • Nose

      Rich medley of fruits, from sweet mango to fleshy ripe plums to dark berry fruits. The oak adds notes of toasted wood with touches of vanilla, brown sugar and roasted coffee beans along with a mild touch of leather. Pot still spices continue to build and evolve overtime adding further depth and complexity

    • Palate

      Initial notes of cinnamon spice and soft wood tannins along with exotic fruits and dark berries. Rich mouth-coating texture with sweet notes of vanilla and treacle toffee layered over a toasted oak foundation

    • Finish

      Lingering with the ripe fruits and pot still spices having the final word

  • Billy Abbott, The Whisky Exchange

    • Nose

      All of the fruit, from the fresh to the exotic, dried, and imaginary. Gummi bears, apples, pears, mango, pineapple, sultanas, raisins: if you can think of it, it’s probably here. Along with the fruit is aromatic old oak, many times polished, brown sugar and gentle spice.

    • Palate

      Rich and rounded on the tongue, with toffee and caramel leading to the intense fruit of the nose. The tropical notes sit up front, with rich and sweet raisins, glacé cherries and plums sitting behind. Aniseed and cinnamon spice bring up the rear, with a touch of menthol freshness.

    • Finish

      Brown sugar and cinnamon dusted pastry cases, filled with fruit. Gentle aniseed spiciness lingers.

    • Comment

      One of the fruitiest whiskies I’ve ever tried, mixing classic, old-Irish tropical- and orchard-fruit notes with rich, dark dried fruit. It’s complex, layered and both rewards and deserves long consideration.
