Dear Client 

This month we have selected  three (3) PROVENANCE bottlings. 

PROVENANCE Tasting Notes follow: 

PRV0788 AUCHROISK 10 YEARS 

Opens fresh and sweet on the nose carrying a floral style plus vanilla fudge and a malty quality. The palate opens with a sweet vanilla aspect and runs to spiced caramelised peaches. The finish is long and spicy and carries a soft chewed leather quality plus late honey. (J)

PRV0802 DAILUAINE 12 YEARS

Distinctly Sherried on the nose from its cask heritage – with mixed spice, clove studied orange, dark macerated fruit and chewy raisins all there before its late barley.  The palate is smooth and all too easy – with dark fruit spices, puff candy, and soft gristy qualities apparent – then the finish is cough drop and candy floss driven  (F) 

PRV0803 CRAIGELLACHIE 12 YEARS

Barley, citrus, aromatic floweriness and honey all appear on the nose plus late warm gingery type spices.  On the palate detect more sweet barley, with spiced and macerated dark fruits – crunched sugar – perhaps a little camphor?  …… and all are softly now replicated on its subtle finish.  (F) 

As our Winter Promotion proved very popular with our PROVENANCE Importers we will offer a similar but improved version for these potentially slower summer months.  This offer is now based on: 

BUY SEVEN (7) CASES FROM OUR PRICE LIST AND SELECT THE 8^TH CASE FREE OF CHARGE FROM THE SELECTION YOU MAKE (WHILE STOCKS LAST AND EXCLUDING ANY/ALL ISLAY MALTS).  

Just as these are enjoyable Tasting Notes to write – so we hope they are of interest and validity to you when reviewing stock requirements.  We believe this month we have offered you a truly wide range of noses/palates and finishes which will intrigue you and your clientele.  We hope to be of service to you and look forward to hearing from you after review.  

Yours faithfully
