WHISKY WITH A TASTE FOR FLAVOUR

OCTOBER OUTTURN

WHISKY WITH A TASTE FOR FLAVOUR

It’s the time of year when the shorter days and darker evenings go by in a blur. This is whisky season, and although there’s a distinct temptation to coorie in by the fire and stay there, there’s so much going on this month that this is a time for anything other than staying still.

First and most importantly, we’re launching our new flavour profiles. These eight new additions represent an evolution of the twelve profiles that have guided members since 2012 - each with a new name, colour and character.

We found ourselves on a beautiful Indian summer’s autumn day wandering through a forest, with the coloured leaves gliding through the air as we stopped to forage for some blackthorn berries. The mouthfeel was fruity and syrupy: tinned peaches, apricot iced tea and pickled ginger made with apple cider vinegar and coconut sugar. After reduction, we reached a waterfall on this warm autumn day, sat down, opened a flask of rooibos tea and unwrapped chewy coconut granola bars. In the finish, we found yoghurt-covered diced pineapple. Following 10 years in an ex-bourbon hogshead, we transferred this whisky into a 2nd fill Australian Muscat Barrique.
