The One Port Cask Finished Whisky

The nose is lovely, sweet raisin and vanilla, almost toffee like. However the palette doesn't quite live up to the nose. A warm peppery and slightly honeyed taste quickly falls away to almost non existent finish.

My local distillery, but let me clarify I’m not much of a port finish fan, and when you pour this out and it’s almost a Rosé colour I took a deep breathe. Thankfully they have done a great job of balancing it. Nothing like their first limited release.

Nose has a very Christmassy theme. Stewed plums, baked oats. Palate is black currents, candied orange with some black pepper. The finish is drawn out but is fairly sour with more pepper.

Not bad for someone who doesn’t enjoy port so I can see the right person really enjoying this stuff!

Not my most favourite malt as found it quite rough but ok.

A lovely dram, well-balanced with a slightly sweet taste profile from the Port Casks. Definitely recommended.
Exciting stuff from the Lakes Distillery!
