Cotswolds Peated Cask Single Malt Whisky (60.4%)
The Cotswolds Distillery has got its hands on some ex-peated whisky quarter casks and isn't afraid to use 'em! For the Cotswolds Peated Cask, the spirit is made using floor-malted Odyssey barley, along with Anchor and Fermentis yeasts, and the spirit is allowed to mature in ex-peated quarter casks, which are much smaller than your standard whisky cask. The casks impart a delicate smokiness to the whisky - it's not 'bonfire directly under your nose' style smoke, more 'distant fragrant fireplace' style, and it's really rather tasty indeed.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Toffee pennies, toasted sesame seeds, cinnamon sticks and sultanas.
Palate
Apricot, apple and peach, followed by soft hints of sea salt and cedar.
Finish
Honeyed malt, floral barley and final fleeting waft of spicy smoke.
