This single malt from Sweden's Mackmyra distillery was treated to a rather intriguing cask finish, ending its nine-year maturation in a cask seasoned with Hojicha Green Tea! Unlike traditional Japanese green teas, Hojicha is roasted after the leaves are steamed. Along with removing all bitterness, the roasting process gives Hojicha its signature earthy aroma, its reddish-brown color, and its unique smoky taste. Subtle notes of earthen spice compliment fresh, tropical layers of fruit and vanilla here, and it makes a splendid addition to the Cinema Series from That Boutique-y Whisky Company.
Batch 3 is a release of 442 bottles.
That Boutique-y Whisky Company bottles limited edition whiskies from a variety of renowned distilleries as well as producing award-winning blends. These whiskies are adorned with cultish graphic novel-style labels.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose Waves of juicy pear and banana, backed by earthy notes of cigar box and a touch of petrichor.
Palate A delicate balance of tropical fruit, vanilla, and toasted coconut, with chilli flakes trailing in the background.
Finish Fresh fruit lingers beside butterscotch, more chilli, and a touch of ground ginger.
