November Outturn Previews: 4 new casks & pair offer

Drool over our spookily good November Preview Bottlings…released early and just in time for Halloween

76.87 Kissing a lady vampire’s neck
Speyside Spey
£39.80 inc free p&p
A ‘classy wee number’ – lightly floral (elderflower or meadowsweet after rain) and fruity (kumquat, physalis, cherry) with understated notes of old pine, coffee grinds and ginger

26.75 Scented candles in a sauna
Highland Northern
£90.75 inc free p&p
At first we noted ‘foamed banana’, then muesli (perhaps Sugar-Puffs) with dried banana and desiccated coconut. Then came ‘ginestra candle’, eucalyptus and sauna scents, which resolved into minerals

G5.4 Sweet Treats
Single Cask Grain
£51.60 inc. free p&p
sweet bourbon-like treats – banana toffee, golden syrup, barley sugar, pecan pie, maple syrup on pancakes, rum and raisin, sugar on cornflakes; vague hints of coconut, balsa wood, vanilla and felt-tip pens

Compare with…?
G5.3 Extraordinary taste intensity
Single Cask Grain
£51.60 inc. free p&p
We found a fabulous, unusual nose – polished oak, coconut and
perfumed smoke; curry spices, toasted sesame seeds and aniseed
