A splendid single cask bottling from the Lowland based Annandale distillery, released as part of its peated Man O’Sword collection. The whisky was distilled in 2015 and matured in a single ex-bourbon cask before being bottled at a hearty cask strength of 61.1% ABV. Glorious stuff – another wonderful expression from Annandale.
Smouldering smoke, vanilla custard creams and a dusting of mixed nuts.
Wafts of coastal peat smoke mingle with sweet toasted oak, woody caramel, and bursts of baking spice.
More nutty notes with sugar coated almonds and caramelised pecans, herbal oak char, and smoky salinity.
