Retribution 3 Year Old (cask W008) - Bourbon Cask
This is the second English single malt to be released to the public from Somerset's Retribution Distilling Co., drawn from one of the first casks to be laid down. The distillery uses a pair of handmade, direct-fired copper pot stills, custom-made to its own design within 40 miles of its Somerset home. Distilled from malted laureate barley, the whisky spent three years and four months maturing in a quarter cask that previously held Buffalo Trace bourbon, bringing creamy layers of toffee and butterscotch. A batch of 170 bottles at a hearty 53.3% ABV.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Lemon Puff biscuits, a balance of sweet malty biscuit, and citrus flavours. Some delicate floral notes alongside summer grasses. A drop of water brings crisp green apple, vanilla cream, and the citrus turns more orange blossom.
Palate
Sweet, malty, with some peppery warmth on first sip. Clean and fruity with tangy sherbet reminiscent of a Sherbet Orange sweets. With water, ripe barley leads a pleasant, light, oily mouthfeel, with a soft orange blossom honey sweetness.
Finish
Medium length, soft malt, with that signature orange citrus lingering.
