Notes

About Rustling through autumn leaves: Our November Bottle of the Month is exactly the dram we want to be enjoying as Fall takes hold. Its rich core of confections lend texture to the crisp and crunchy accents afforded on the finish. From a picturesque and underrated distillery.

Tasting Panel Note: We watched a red squirrel rustling through fallen leaves on a warm, sunny autumn day and as we breathed in the ozone-rich air, a floral scent of fuchsia and cornflower mixed with the aroma of rapeseed oil. Smooth to start with clotted cream and gooey-centred meringues but then followed by the spicy kick of a peppery Fisherman’s Friend. After adding water, we took our Barbour jacket off as we sat on a bench in a clearing in the wood enjoying possibly the last warm rays of sunshine as we bit into a white chocolate rocky road stuffed with coconut, marshmallows and pistachios.
