Tasting Notes
A vibrant, dark ruby colour was followed by the warm scent of black cherries, bergamot, red berries and almonds. On the palate it was succulent and gently spiced, like a Moroccan-spiced strawberry jam combining a fruity sweetness with savoury ginger, cumin, cinnamon and cloves. Following reduction, a bouquet of herbs came to the fore alongside the scent of sweet candy shell-glazed strawberries. The taste was just like a hanky-panky cocktail of gin, Italian vermouth and fernet served in a glass filled with cracked ice and garnished with orange peel. At two years of age, we combined selected casks from the same distillery into a variety of different casks to develop further. This is one of those casks.
