The first whisky from Blackpool's Bankhall Distillery is here! Single Malt Cask Strength - First Release includes some of the first spirit to flow through its stills from March of 2020 and is made from English-grown malted barley from Crisp Maltings (Scottish Laureate varietal). It was matured in a single Speyside Cooperage char 4 virgin oak cask for a little over three years and then bottled at 57.4% ABV, cask strength, with a batch of just 225 bottles, all hand numbered by head distiller Vince Olsen.
Vibrant fresh orange, toffee, marshmallow, cinnamon pastries, earthy vanilla, and oak char lead with hints of cola cubes, mint leaves, and tinned apricots in support.
Butterscotch-rich, like sucking on a Werther's Original, with oaken vanilla and marmalade also prominent. In the backdrop, there’s sweet notes of Yellow Fruit Pastilles, apricot jam, and nutmeg, as well as a melted butter element.
Rich pastries, darker fruits, cocoa powder, and toasted oak.
