TAKE A LOOK

CASK NO. 28.119

Spice it up after dark

We combined selected casks of eight-year-old single malt from this distillery and put the spirit into various other casks to marry and mature – this is one of those. The nose indicated caramel and dark chocolate, cheroots, leather, nutmeg and a spicy, citrus, earthy aftershave. The palate’s deep sweetness of marmalade, manuka, currants, raisins and chocolate mousse preceded a finish of dry oak, black coffee, goatskin wine, cinnamon and ginger. The reduced nose offered black tea, roasted beetroot, sawdust, rancio and humidors. Continued sweetness on the palate, now in the form of sugared almonds, honey and pastel de nata, balanced the liquorice, anise and clove that tingled in the finish.

Please note that these bottles are 35cl in size, making them perfect for exploring and enjoying a wider variety of whiskies. They are smaller than our standard 70cl bottles. £39.00
