Tasting Notes
Tasting Notes
Billy Abbott, The Whisky Exchange
Nose
Tarred ropes, menthol rub and pink shrimp sweets lead. Burning seaweed and beach bonfires are put out by crashing waves. Tarry ropes and hessian sacks lead to wooden buckets of apples and apricots. Salted butter toffee hides behind the fruit.
Palate
The pink shrimps from the nose return, joined by the tarry ropes in a sweet and savoury intro. Green ferns and seaweed notes build, as well as damp grass and smouldering pine needles. Apples and apricots sit at the centre, slightly unripe but still juicy.
Finish
Sea spray and damp rocks, apple sauce and tarry liquorice lozenges.
Celebrating 50 years in the drinks industry
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.
