EXCEEDINGLY EXQUISITE
Cask No. 38.34
sold out
This sample, from the most northerly grain distillery, had the Panel very excited. On the nose neat, beeswax, tangerines, mandarins, toffee popcorn, rich honey, vanilla, orange oil, eucalyptus, cardamom and fennel seeds. The taste is sweet and spicy - sugar on caraway bread. Then turning waxy, like being in a room with children candle dipping and the aroma of sap and resin from a freshly cut Christmas tree. With water, aromas of steamed orange pudding, burnt toffee, vanilla cake batter, fluffy American pancakes with maple syrup and eggs sunny-side-up appear. The taste is velvety smooth, orange and vanilla oil, cooked chestnuts, nut brittle and cornbread. Slightly minty with a spicy edge of a Jalapeno pepper in the finish.
