Harmoniously balanced
$180
Cask No. 26.228 Harmoniously Balanced is a 14-year-old Highland single cask that spent its entire life in a refill ex-bourbon hogshead. We are excited to offer a distillate so revered that’s been aged in a relatively inactive cask, allowing that distillery character to shine through. Here we have a synthesis of flowers, fruits and honeysuckle all gliding along on that trademark texture. A truly harmonious dram for your sipping pleasure.

Tasting Panel Notes
An elegant floral aroma of roses, violets and jasmine next to the powerful – yet delicate, sweet and fruity – scent of blossoming honeysuckle turned this into a fascinating olfactory experience. On the palate we took a sip from an old-fashioned lemonade and a bite from a slice of honeydew melon before finishing with the crunchy texture from a bowl of tropical fruit granola. Adding water brought forward a whole new dimension, delivering creamy, aromatic heather honey and tepache, a refreshing drink made from pineapple peels and brown sugar. The taste reminded some of us of a soothing cup of chamomile mint blossom tea served with malted buttermilk biscuits and spiced orange marmalade.
