Tasting Notes
A cold newspaper came spritzed with aftershave featuring accents of cedar and sandalwood, plus the zest of a blood orange. Held in the mouth, this whisky came alive, giving us buttered scones, clotted cream, vanilla and orange fondant, with a pinch of mace to accent rather than spice. Lemon verbena lingered on the dry finish. The nose was much fruitier with water, delivering glazed strawberry tarts and baked oranges splashed with white port, alongside a serving of peach jelly candies and artisan marshmallows dipped in runny icing. The palate emulated the reduced nose, with a nutmeg finish and a glass of riesling.
