SWEETLY MODERN
Cask No. 60.31
A typically expressive and exotic profile, as we've come to expect from this terrific and underappreciated make. Freshly laundered fabrics and linens were noted first, before a big detonation of citrus curds, tropical fruit jams and bubble-gum, alongside lychee, apricot jam and dried papaya. Lovely stuff!
With water we found some slightly more aromatic elements such as sandalwood, heather flowers, delicate sooty touches and flower pollens. The palate opened with pure exotic fruit pulp, fruit salad goo and hints of limoncello, crushed nettles and New Zealand sauvignon blanc. Reduction brought some spicy tangs of cinnamon and pink peppercorn, but also fir wood resins, lemon jelly, burlap and wintergreen.
