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 aroma was breath-taking, with unsmoked maple bacon, butterscotch pancakes, candied Seville oranges, black tea and cloves...and the list could just go on and on. On the palate we found a truly irresistible combination of sweet caramel, smooth butter and vanilla, making it a classic butterscotch coffee syrup poured over maple ice cream. After careful reduction, the scent of rum and raisin fudge alongside damson jam and amaretti biscuits appeared. To taste there was initially a little spice coming from ginger beer and cinnamon buns before we enjoyed lavender shortbread and a glass of amarone wine. Following 29 years in an oloroso butt we transferred this whisky into a first fill PX butt.
On the back of being awarded Double Gold at this year's International Spirits Challenge (ISC), this incredible whisky was awarded a trophy in the Single Malts 21 years old and over category. Out of thousands of entries submitted from around the world, fewer than 2% are awarded a trophy – making this already unique whisky even more special.
