Tasting Notes

The nose neat had plenty of goodness with fig rolls, treacle tarts, roasted hazelnuts, candied tarragon, and sweet Medjool dates while on the palate dark chocolate pralines with a cinnamon-cardamom-chilli ganache melted in our mouths as we stared into the dark starless night sky and the big full moon. After reduction, a tarry sweet sherry note appeared before the scent of caramelised bananas and raisin-studded flapjacks took centre stage. The taste was magical – deliciously smooth like a liqueur using cranberries along with blood orange juice and orange rind. After thirteen years in an ex-bourbon hogshead, we transferred this whisky into a 1st fill shave, toasted, re-charred and Oloroso Sherry seasoned barrique.
