Tasting Notes

A beautiful example of this lost Lowland classic. An initial burst of orange cordial and cocktail bitters was followed by spiced honey cake and sharp, zingy grassy freshness. Almost illusions of old-style, pure pot Irish whiskey. Something further underscored by metal polish, dried guava and banana liqueur. Water brought milk bottle sweets, sandalwood, clover and expensive olive oil. The complexity only mounts! In the mouth we found abundant sweetness with pineapple syrup, Turkish delight, spiced fruit chutneys, melon syrup and concentrated fruit salad juices. Pollens, bubble-gum and old copper coins. Water brought a drier edge with rapeseed oil, rye bread and a hit of very old calvados. Then heather ales, dandelion and burdock, crushed walnuts and red liquorice. Quite a ride!
