Tasting Notes

For The New Wave, we’ve brought together five of Scotland’s most exciting modern producers – each with its own sense of place and character. The result is a collection that’s not just about what Scotch whisky is, it’s about where it’s going. We love these whiskies and we’re very excited by the future that each of this next generation of distilleries offer to our members.

Tasting Notes

We all sat around a campfire and grilled Hawaiian skewers of cured diced gammon and pineapple chunks coated with a zesty, sweet, smoky honey glaze. The taste was very different; there was a sweetness but at the same time a spiciness, as well as the dry bitterness of a medieval rye bread baked using smoked barley, or a slice of burnt toast with blackberry jam. The addition of water added the distinct, spicy aroma of cloves and aniseed next to apple-brined turkey with garlic herb butter and fresh rosemary. On the palate, we took a generous sip of beechwood-smoked rye ale with a long, sweet maple syrup finish.
