Tasting Notes

Imagine a sunny autumn day and a group of lumberjacks walking off the CalMac ferry at Port Askaig. They head straight into the woods to start cutting trees with axes and well-oiled chainsaws. The first sip on the palate made us all sit upright but not uptight! A real boisterous dram, with peanut butter on burnt wholemeal toast and maraschino cherries soaked in Guyanese rum. Diluted, spice and sea collided – a smoked paprika-seasoned chicken barbecue on the beach and a sticky toffee pudding as dessert. In early 2020, we acquired a rare parcel of old bodega sherry butts. We decided to move this whisky from the oloroso butt it was already in, to this freshly emptied one. The result is a gentle caress from a wise old cask.
