Notes
Cask No. 112.99
Feels like a caress
Highland, Southern
This had us all fantasizing right from the start as we dug into a dessert combining layers of stewed apples, cardamom-flavoured rye breadcrumbs and plenty of whipped cream. To drink we had walnut wine, late harvest orange muscat, hibiscus tea as well as a kiwi and lime flavoured cider. With a drop of water, we “awakened the serpent” as we created visible eddies and ribbons and the aroma was that of toffee popcorn and caramelised pear slices. Smooth with a fabulous texture, grapey-sweet with a biscuit kick like a glass of Pineau des Charentes. Following fifteen years in an ex-bourbon hogshead, we transferred this whisky into a 1st fill Sauternes barrique.
