QUIET CONFIDENCE
Cask No. 42.73
sold out
The room was instantly filled with sweet fruity scents - bruised apples, pineapple, set honey; mellow, rich and opulent: Eve’s Pudding (apple topped with soft sponge), or even tarte tatin. The taste at full strength was not so rich: sharp, after a sweet start - one panellist was reminded of ‘strawberry flavoured cornflower.’ Water raised soft pastry, tinned pineapple and baked apple, with some dry straw and boiled sweets (travel sweets dusted with icing sugar), and the taste is now much improved: soft and smooth, with light sweetness, a spicy finish and an overall taste of fresh mandarins. Atypical of the make from our southern-most distillery.
