Notes
About East of fortune: Cask No.105.50 ‘East of fortune’’ is a lead character in Across the Finish Line. We love a whisky that punches above its own weight and this 10-year old Speyside malt is no exception. Matured in a 1st fill heavy toast, medium char hogshead, this big and bold whisky reminds us that in the end, size does matter.
Tasting Panel Note: Full of nostalgia, the Panel felt, as though they had climbed aboard an old airliner: well-worn leather seats evoked travel past, coffee was served and lingered on the nose, and hard banana candy was handed out before take-off. The palate had a full texture – immediately sweet with dark fruits and sweet cigar tobacco, followed by cedar, white pepper and minted chilli salsa. Water gave both the nose and palate a serving of spiced bread and butter pudding, and creamed corn with chilli flakes. After six years in an ex-bourbon hogshead, we transferred this to a first fill heavily toasted medium char hogshead for the remainder of its maturation.
