Spearhead 70cl Whisky
Spearhead
Supremely sippable single grain Scotch whisky here from Spearhead, produced at the Loch Lomond Distillery! There's some really rather interesting stuff going on with this one – it's a single grain made with 100% malted barley and given a rather long fermentation time, before being distilled in a Coffey still, and then matured in ex-bourbon barrels. Before bottling, it's given a six month finishing period in a combination of traditionally toasted and infrared toasted barrels. Well worth checking out, this one!
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Stewed summer berries, runny caramel, citrus blossom.
Palate
Still has plenty of sweet fruit notes to it, now with hints of red apple and pear, soon joined by lime zestiness, brown sugar, and cassia.
Finish
Toasted marshmallow, a smidge of oak spice, honey.
