Dear Customers,

For our August releases we are pleased bring to your attention five (5) new bottlings under the PROVENANCE label.

Tasting Notes:

PRV0640 AUCHENTOSHAN 9 year old
Distinctly gristy as it opens on the nose plus some citrus and lightly oaked tones. The palate is initially massively sweet, opening further to barley and nutty flavours – all neatly replicated plus more spice on the finish. (F)

PRV0634 GLEN GARIOCH 9 year old
Opens smooth and fresh on the nose and develops to a sweet, vanilla tablet quality. The palate is sweetly spiced, with a toasted bread and toffee popcorn style. The finish jointly replicates the nose and palate and remains attractively sweet. (J)

PRV0635 GLENALLACHIE 9 year old
The nose is fresh and fruity, with a grapefruit quality and runs to mellow, vanilla sweetness. The palate is warming, still sweet with more fruit flavours, spice and barley apparent. The finish is short yet attractive, still carries a fruity character, now with camphor and orange pith. (J)

PRV0637 STRATHISLA 10 year old
The nose opens with a gristy sweet character, like entering a malt barn and develops to a fruit plus creamy style. Still sweet, the palate carries a barley sugar quality and has a nice malty mouthfeel with cough sweet warmth. The sweet gristy style returns on the finish which is long, dryly spiced yet mellow. (F & J)

PRV0641 HIGHLAND PARK 12 year old
Opens on the nose with bees wax and soft smoke reminiscent of old fashioned candles before a fresh and fruity quality appears. The lightly peated palate carries a sweet fruit quality and is balanced with smoke and spices. The finish is tangy, now ashy with a leather character that runs and runs. (J)

We certainly like these releases but more importantly we hope you similarly do. We thank you in advance for your kind consideration.

All best wishes,
Fred H Laing
Managing Director
