Tasting Panel Note

About A squirrel's pantry: Here is another belter from a storied Lowland distillery. The winning combination of honey, malt, herbs and spices keeps us coming back for more. There is a wonderful depth of flavor that consistently accompanies drams from this distillery. 

Tasting Panel Note: Aromas were fresh and vibrant with lush green grass, cereals, and gooseberries while lemon meringue pie joined sticky dessert wine and buttered crumpets. A richness washed over the palate of manuka honey with singed orange skin before cinnamon, ginger and Indian spices combined with bananas, cherries, and pear eau de vie. Water brought an earthy tone of crushed nettles, dried leaves and walnuts before almonds, linseed oil and citrus sweetened into vanilla and pencil shavings. Oily nuts now merged with fruity cocktails with tingly spices against a backdrop of sweet grains, peaches, rosewater, and dry coconut husk.
