Notes

About Sweets from your mum: This striking cask was one of our Tasting Panel Experience malts from the 2024 tour. It missed out on that bottling run by 5 one-hundredths of a point, and I knew we had to release it separately. Its fragrance bursts from the glass with vanilla and flowers as tropical fruits and gingery spice follow on the palate. Distillery 5 continues to impress us, and this is a stunning example of quality in the Lowlands.

Tasting Panel Note: A lovely sweetness wafted through the room as we poured this sample, with aromas of vanilla slices and maraschino cherries. It also felt like your mum had just opened a jar full of sweets and you could only pick one. To taste, this was the choice we had to make: wine gums, sugared jelly babies or sugared candy gingersnap cookies, as well as bubblegum with mint and fruit. Following reduction we discovered white truffles, white roses and Turkish delight next to a glass of demi-sec champagne. On the palate we now found tropical fruits and a malty sweetness alongside baked apples and homemade sweet summer lemonade.
