ripe fruits and herbs combine for a hearty dose of nuanced complexity
A mesmerising sweet and floral yet extremely delicate scent bewitched us and we felt we’d fallen under a spell
Date distilled: September 2007Cask: First-fill charred red wine barriqueAge: 12 yearsAlcohol: 57
On the palate we found layer upon layer of dark fruits such as blackcurrants and blackberries spiced with a chilli jam of cloves
the aromas comforted us like a shortcrust pastry shawl and slippers made of spun sugar
Cask No. 79.12 New ripe fruits and herbs combineThe wonderfully natural nose showcased this distillery without its habitual cloak of unusual wood influence. In its place we found a superbly dusty profile, rich in cereals, malt extract, barley sugars, breads and buttered oatcakes. With water this evolved towards baled hay, fresh pollens, pressed flowers, dusty waxes, wax jacket grease, and cedar and pine woods. One Panellist remarked that there was a lovely wee "earthy potting shed" vibe going on.
