WHISKY WANDERERS
This year we’re celebrating Scottish whisky festivals differently with specially selected casks that defy traditional expectations. These whiskies offer liquids you wouldn’t normally expect from certain distilleries or regions. Come join us on the path less trodden with these unique drams and celebrate the spirit of going off the beaten track.

Tasting Notes
The nose combined scented hardwoods, pine resin, potpourri and old libraries with charentais melon, moscatel, honeycomb and apricot danish sweetness. The palate (with wonderful creamy, syrupy textures) had flavours of toffee, dark chocolate, jelly beans and oranges preserved in brandy syrup; the finish found exotic hints of spice and joss sticks in a sultan’s tent. The reduced nose gave us jasmine, pine cones and woven carpets, leather, putty and cigar boxes. The flavours now included pickled ginger, root beer syrup, salted caramel, honey and prunes. After 10 years in ex-bourbon wood, this was introduced into a first fill toasted American oak barrique.
