Bloody beautiful!

$165

I consider this to be one of those underdog distilleries quietly making bold and beautiful single malt. If you haven’t tried it I envy your discovery. Here we have a savory dram with bacon-infused Bloody Mary vibes that transition into rich chocolate and apple pie. The name says it all!

Tasting Panel Notes

The Panel found a potpourri of aromas ranging from pineapple cubes and bubblegum ice lollies to salt and vinegar crisps and finally a bloody mary with bacon-infused vodka. This had a very chewy texture, with flavours of salted caramel, smoked salmon and sour cream bagel sandwiches as well as spicy quince and cranberry chutney. Following the addition of water, we found ourselves in a coffee shop in Amsterdam and ordered a chocolate fudge affogato – chocolatey fudge ice cream, sea-salted almonds and piping hot espresso. The taste was that of a glass of cinnamon apple sangria made using white wine, apple cider, cinnamon schnapps and spiced rum.
