Tasting Panel Notes
About We're all going on a summer holiday: Ben and I were recently reminiscing about 2023’s Festival Rare Release from Distillery 64 and how magnificent that was. We hadn’t seen this number in a while and what a way to storm back onto the scene. They’re still sparse, and we’re always very happy to see them! Today’s release follows suit with all the complexities of summer in a glass.
Tasting Panel Note: This was moved from ex-bourbon wood into a first fill HTMC hogshead after 13 years. The nose, bountiful and summery, held cricket pavilions and country houses, golden syrup, peaches and cream, apple tart and orange peelings. The palate was sweetly seductive, with raspberry and chocolate ice cream, raspberry and coconut bars, brandy snaps, fruit cake and mango (although one of us got savoury notes as well). The reduced nose catapulted us back into summer – elderflowers in June, the perfume of fruit bowls and holiday hotel pools with bougainvillea and sangria. The palate now kept our attention with honeycomb, Danish marzipan chocolates, charentais melon and Turkish delight.
