Our Tasting notes.
Nose: An ensemble of flavours starting with moist Cuban-Behike cigar leaf, cherry ripe, baclava and boysenberry ice cream that soon morph into plum jam, black honey, tree sap and fig flesh. There’s the slightest hint of struck match (could be the outdoor fire-pit playing tricks?) in a fragrant tail that sits beautifully.
Palate: Pure velvet. Exuding warm dark chocolate, scorched almonds and more jammy notes from the nose with Turkish coffee, cinnamon sugar and sun ripened plums.
Finish: Luscious and warming with subtle spice and some oak punching through.
Conclusion: Reminds me of the tamer Tassie Heartwoods.
Spellbinding – A winter’s night dram by the fire that will keep you warm as layers of flavour reveal themselves in a devilishly constructed whisky.
