Notes

About Three's company: When choosing this month’s Bottle of the Month, this “light & delicate” single malt from the northern Speyside seemed perfect. Brightly fruity and boldly creamy with just enough pepper spice to add some angles. This is lovely springtime sipping.

Tasting Panel Note: We dropped the marble slab on our plums, all the while chewing classic bubble gum. Fruity sugars and a perfume of gummy bears filled our noses. To the palate, we cut ourselves a slice of ciabatta, spread it lightly with lemon curd and topped it with whipped cream and pink peppercorns. Delightful. Water offered us a vision of a limestone doorstep, protected with a coir mat and decorated with coconut shavings. The palate had now become full of green melon, red apple and a ménage à trois of ginger, plum and tea tree oil.
