Notes

About Into the woods: Our second International Women’s Day cask is a peated effort from the Southern Highlands at Loch Lomond. It’s more than an epic song (especially Run Rig & The Tartan Army’s Hampton Remix!), this distillery is making amazing whisky hand over fist. This one is no different with barbecue, toffee and coffee beans to delight in

Tasting Panel Note: The panel hiked deep into the woods for an autumnal barbecue on a conker-littered forest floor that smelt of woody embers. Next a feast of tuna, mackerel and capers with pork sausages. To finish: coffee beans, apple cider and burnt vanilla pods on tea cakes. Reduced, the panel were divided, one side favouring sweetness while the other found notes of maritime salinity. There were oyster shells, smoked kippers and anchovies while on the flip side, vanilla pods, tropical fruits and toffee buttons. After six years in a bourbon hogshead, this was transferred to a second-fill Spanish oloroso hogshead.
