Mementos from the tropics
$180
Distillery 134 crafts single malts in Goa, India from Himalayan 6-row barley that creates robust flavors and palate richness. Its proximity to the equator creates a stunning angel’s share (alcohol evaporation) of 8-12% per year, compared to 1-2% in Scotland, offering malts of complexity and maturation well beyond their years.

Tasting Panel Notes
An abundance of dried mango arrived rolled in dark cane sugar, escorted by apricot jam and marzipan. But deeper layers soon emerged as liquorice sweets joined cocktail bitters, bergamot and bay leaves. Creamy notes unfolded as the mango found its way into a lassi, and flaky filo pastry encased luscious elderflower ice cream. Water guided the mango to one side, allowing poached plums, chocolate orange and muscat dessert wine to come to the fore. Apricot frangipane tarts surfaced amid creamy custard and honey, before the fragrance of lavender flowers finally joined the party, merging with spicy cinnamon and candied fennel seeds.
