Notes

Cask No. 112.96  

Sensory sudoku

Highland, Southern

Like puzzling over a puzzle we found a thought provoking medley of toasted cereals and marzipan with crunchy autumn leaves and a wave of tropical fruit alongside red liquorice, coriander and icing on old wood. Flavours on the tongue embraced nut husks and linseed oil with a warming heat that mellowed into dried apricots, toffee apples and thick cut marmalade. Water uncovered nut oil and creamy textures that coated woody spices and a fruit bowl of papaya, banana and gooseberries. Complex flavours now suggested rhubarb, liquorice and citrus peel while wood tannins merged with cask char, turmeric and menthol tobacco on the finish.
