Cask No. 39.113 Young & spritely

An explosion of playfulness

sold out

The nose was light and mild – fruity, sweet aromas of 'flying saucers' candies, sherbet, Edinburgh Rock candy, vanilla, limoncello, grapefruit and talc were prevented from wafting away on the breeze by a ballast of pine, tree bark, basketry and cinnamon spice. The palate was youthful and lively; fizzy sherbet and ‘popping candy mixed with gunpowder’ exploded on our tongues – flavours included lemon, orange zest and yellow gummy bears – maybe a hint of perfumed bath bombs. With water, the nose found flowers, wood sap, lipstick and tea. The palate, now more playful than lively, suggested yellow coconut Liquorice Allsorts and cakes in waxed paper.
