Notes

About Fern and Flame: We are captivated by our 26-year-old Creator's Collection malt from the mainland. Campfire smoke is complemented by Oloroso sherry cask flavors for a deeply rewarding sipper to savor.

Tasting Panel Note:

Coconut rain drops trickled from minty and menthol green leaves before splashing on to steak charred by an applewood fire. A haze of thick smoke then drifted between hop vines and sage shrubs before teasing beef and venison carpaccio. A few drops of water caused tropical fruit to plummet from the green canopy above, landing with a thud on to damp earth infused with oil-covered hay from the back of a tractor. An elegantly herbal finish fused sweet vermouth with cocktail bitters, before butterscotch, T-bone steaks and peppered mackerel arrived in a soft leather satchel. After spending 24 years in an ex-bourbon hogshead this was transferred to a first fill American oak oloroso hogshead for the remainder of its maturation.
