Notes

Cask No. 78.42

Hats off to Mr Ross

Highland, Western

USA Exclusive in celebration of the Highland Whisky Festival 2021

An initial aroma of baked apples, sticky toffee pudding, condensed milk sweetness and melted butter. A little brown sugar underneath. With some time and air we got creamy coconut, sunflower oil and a rather fuller vanilla aroma. Good weight gives quite a 'textural' impression. With water we found some notes of cherry stones, red apples, new leather and baled hay. Rather aromatic and nicely punchy with plenty distillery character. The palate opened with a rich sweetness of butterscotch and custard with orange peel. Zesty, oily, balanced and fresh. A little peppery warmth from the oak. With water a nice balance between wood and distillate emerges; cherry ice cream, vanilla wafer and ginger alongside chewy malt and very light waxiness.
