A single grain Scotch whisky here from Arbikie Distillery matured in a single sherry hogshead and bottled up by Berry Bros. & Rudd at 58.3% ABV with no additional colouring or chill-filtration. The distillery was selected to be part of the series Collective #1: The Pioneers due to its use of green power and regenerative farming to grow its own grain, with a world-leading hydrogen generation scheme on the way.
Sweet aromas of Icelandic rye bread, honeyed sponge cake, and cloves open the bouquet with some nutmeg emerging with time.
The palate is lively and joyous, showing sweet rye spice, crème brûlée and dark chocolate cookies. It is immensely quaffable.
Baking spice and dry rye come in waves over the finish.
Scotland isn’t known for its rye whisky but if this dram is anything to go by, it soon will be.
