This is an 'eau-de-vie-de-biere' from Adnams. If you know Adnams, you will have guessed it's distilled from their rather excellent Broadside bitter. It's matured in oaks for twelve months to produce a fresh, clean spirit that perfectly captures the Broadside flavour.
Crisp, fresh beer with an underlying spiciness soon emerge from initial bubblegum notes. Black pepper fresh ground, and lots of vanilla.
Wow. It's Broadside. But the spirit version. Crisp pint of bitter with a vanilla spice sweetness. Some subtle biscuit malt notes but still very fresh.
As with the nose, it's like you've just swallowed the first sip of your pint, fresh from Southwold in spirit form.
Well worth a try for beer and whisky lovers alike. It's unique and rather delicious. We can imagine cocktail enthusiasts are going to have a field day with this, and await the results with interest.

Purchased my first bottle a week ago, a fantastic whisky and deserves a bigger audience, have just ordered two more bottles and can't wait to receive them. A very enjoyable drink.
Just got delivery this week of my first bottle. I love Adnams beers and drink lots of dark spirits like rum, whiskey & bourbon so figured I'd like this. Initially disappointing, can't put a finger on the flavour hints I don't like. It has a raw white rum tang somewhere. Added some ice & flavours changed quite a lot. Maybe it'll grow on me, worst case I'll mix it with some Coke!
