Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Very big. This is a beast of a whisky, with a breakfast character (granary toast, salty butter, a touch of orange juice and coffee). After a while of nosing it you’ll start to get banana loaf, developing alongside the applewood smoke, perhaps even cocoa too.
Palate
Very rounded and thick. Golden Syrup? Salt spray, fiery wood spices, dark and brooding peat, star anise, dark chocolate and stewed prunes.
Finish
Very long, with liquorice, Seville orange marmalade, salty butter and kippers.
Winner of 2 spirit awards
