A TASTY MORSEL
Cask No. 149.4
SOLD OUT EVERYWHERE EXCEPT KENSINGTON WINE MARKET IN CALGARY
An air of extravagance exuded which we described as lemon tagliolini with taleggio, sprinkled with truffle shavings and followed by grilled honey balsamic-glazed fruits. The taste was very different, juicy and tropical like a bay breeze cocktail of pineapple and cranberry juices, white rum and a splash of grenadine.
The addition of water emphasised that feeling of summer delight, with the scent of passion fruit parfait, orange sorbet and a dollop of tutti frutti ice cream. The very refined, creamy texture on the palate was like a vanilla almond coconut milkshake. Following 13 years in an ex-bourbon hogshead, we transferred this whisky into a 2nd fill Sauternes barrique.
