Notes

About A most unusual experience: India not only consumes the most scotch whisky of any country in the world, but it also produces some gorgeous single malts. Here we have unpeated 6-row barley that helps create a floral and grain-forward distillate. Whisky aged in the tropical environment of Goa, India will see considerably more evaporation of spirit (angel’s share) in a year of maturation here than Scotland. Thus, our 5-year-old shows the complexity of a malt at least twice its age elsewhere. An almost hypnotic experience is in store for you.

Tasting Panel Notes: A perfumed, heady scent of gorse in full bloom, elderflower and honeysuckle mixed with warm honey cake and chocolate-dipped honeycomb made this an almost hypnotic experience. On the palate came honey and rosemary-roasted nuts, and a glass of strawberry kiwi mead, with a finish of smooth macadamia nut liqueur. Following reduction we found the scent intoxicating, like a walk through a tropical rainforest, or an old dunnage warehouse, as well as sitting at an antique writing desk. To taste, honey-roasted pineapples with pistachios and an exotic edible flower salad of rose petals, chive and bok choy flowers in a light nutty vinaigrette.
