You know the distillery and its reputation precedes itself, so I’ll take this opportunity to plug a colleague’s book instead. Hans Offringa’s Whisky & Jazz is a delightful coffee table book for the whisky and jazz lover. Hans goes about pairing distillery styles and jazz musicians in this work from 2009.

Tasting Panel Notes
At first this one spoke with a clear sherry accent, displaying notes of marzipan, pickled walnut, dark-fruited trail mix, madeira sponge cake, chocolate marshmallows and dried figs. Rich, deep and inviting. With water it became sharper, brighter and fruitier, with blueberry, raspberry, Spanish brandy and gingerbread. The neat palate was hot and robust, with big notes of bitter dark chocolate, raspberry ganache, jaffa cakes, cloves and a hint of cayenne pepper. Water brought more red fruit characteristics, fig jam, sweetened mascarpone and cherry liqueur. At 10 years of age, we combined selected casks from the same distillery. We then returned the single malt into a variety of different casks to develop further. This is one of those casks.
