Tasting Notes

Limited to 1 bottle per member.

The sky was on fire as we barbequed marshmallows and kippers on the beach over smouldering peat slabs. We then added some petrol to the barbeque (“don’t try this at home”) and one of the marshmallows fell into the ashes so we picked it up, cleaned it and ate it – definitely, different and unique! We used salt water to douse the barbeque but before it finally burnt out someone threw (again “don’t try this at home”) paint and varnish remover onto the slabs. Not a gentle giant but a weird beast and this time we do recommend you “try this at home”. After five years in an ex-bourbon hogshead, we transferred this whisky into a 2nd fill Oloroso hogshead.
