Dear Customer

We are pleased to be further adding these 5 Malts to the PROVENANCE selection.

Tasting Notes for PROVENANCE follow:

PRV0647 CAOL ILA 9 YEAR OLD
Initially sweet on the nose with a pleasant home baked quality, it then runs to sweet smoke and burnt toast. At first a sweet character appears before a herbal smoke style coats the palate with creosote and damp ashes. The finish is long and carries bonfire ashes, salty rock pools and sweet, soft tar. (J)

PRV0653 FETTERCAIRN 9 YEAR OLD
Initially a gristy sweetness appears on the nose with a fresh, cereal character that runs to a whisky warehouse and cotton candy style. The palate is sweetly spiced and carries a milk chocolate and orange cream filling taste. The finish is drier with a subtle nutty (marzipan?) quality. (J)

PRV0639 BUNNAHABHAIN 10 YEAR OLD
Distinctly ISLAY on the nose – detect peat and salt, ahead of a warm barley style. The palate is honeyed, sweet, phenolic, smoked and viscous – leading to a sweetly spiced – cough drop style – lightly smoked finish. (F)

PRV0638 BRAEVAL 11 YEAR OLD
Initially rather spiced on the nose then a more subtle barley style eases through. On the palate detect a mouthcoating and sweetly spiced style which runs to (treacle?) toffee. The finish is big on spice, malt and more caramel toffee flavours – then heads drier. (F)

PRV0649 BALMENACH 12 YEAR OLD
Opens with a gristy sweet character plus a barley sugar quality and develops to spicy, honey’d ginger biscuits. The very smooth palate opens sweetly spiced, fruity and runs to a vanilla and toffee style with more ginger. The finish is long, still fruitily sweet, now with spiced peaches. (J)

We believe that is an interesting new selection – hoping that you similarly agree.

Yours faithfully
