Tasting Panel Note

About Flavour kaleidoscope: I continue to tote the laurels of this fine distillery. Aside from providing a unique taste experience you cannot find anywhere else; this malt is just bloody good. Here we have a fruit-forward expression that plays into the bold distillate character beautifully. Kaleidoscopic is the perfect word.

Tasting Panel Note: As we pressed glacé cherries and crispy seaweed into madeira cake, charred lemons landed on honeyed crumpets. The palate was a sweet dipping soy sauce blended with crushed green grapes and a tickle of akvavit. As water was added, a punnet of peaches fell into a perfumed handbag, joined by overnight oats and a brined olive. The texture was now silky, and a salty and fruity mix of the sea, limes, banana and peaches filled a kaleidoscopic bao bun.
