A 10 year old Tassie single malt, produced at the excellent Hellyers Road distillery. This expression spends a decade slumbering in American oak bourbon casks, developing oodles of yummy vanilla-y notes alongside touches of cooked fruit and soft baking spices.
A butterscotch nose, with notes of pear drops and vanilla. Develops with hints of barley sugar, rich honey and malt.
Easy-going, creamy palate entry. Medium-sweet, with a touch of burnt sugar and a core of digestive biscuits. This is simple, crowd-pleasing stuff. The bourbon character comes through nicely, with vanilla and a touch of maple spice developing.
Medium finish, trailing away with hints of sweet oak, maple syrup and allspice.
