Notes

About A secret shrine of golden treasures: Distillery 143 uses unique maltings to create divine expressions of single malt. Both malt varieties used in this expression are typically used for brewing beer. The expressive distillate created is enriched by a #2 char oak barrel, yielding enchanting black forest cake notes along with baking spices and a whisper of smoke.

Tasting Panel Note: Lost in the depths of a dark forest we spied a flickering light from a cottage coated with gingerbread, fudge and muscovado sugar. Creeping closer we could see a pathway of honey-coated oats leading to a toasted oak front door with a cherry door handle. Delicious wafts of rye bread, mint and herbs merged with nutmeg and cloves in plumes of heady tobacco smoke from the chimney. After a dash of water we creaked open the door to be taken aback by an intense burst of baking spices, oak chips and smoky old fashioned cocktails. On the fire chestnuts and honey-glazed peanuts were toasting, so we couldn't help but pull up a rocking chair and begin tucking in to sugared almonds and marzipan stollen bread.
