Notes
About From the shoreline…: Cask No. 162.4 ‘From the shoreline…’ is a lead character in The Odd Team. This vibrant 5-year old single malt has spent its time maturing in a 1st fill Chinkapin oak barrel. The oak makes this a full-throttle, unforgettable sip and the salinity brings you to the edge of the sea, a character that really overdelivers in this role. If you're after something unique, this one is definitely ‘shore’ to impress!
Tasting Panel Note: At first nosing we found a hugely charismatic aroma full of treacle, pebble beach freshness, ozone vibes and lemony zing. Also noted were sea breezes, lightly singed heather and an underlying earthy richness. Reduction brought a softer side full of yellow fruitiness, cedar flowers, hardwood shavings, white pepper and green tomato chutney. When neat, the palate opened with a two-hander of lemon sharpness and chilli warmth. Then it evolved towards dried cherry with peppery and earthy undertones. In the background there were wee notes of dried mango and pomegranate. With water it eased and opened even further, featuring generous notes of golden syrup on raisins, black forest gateau, old fashioned cocktails and liquorice root.
