Tasting Notes
The whisky presents clover honey and heather flowers alongside bonfire embers, seared padron peppers, and barbecued shellfish. On reduction, driftwood, toasted marshmallows, and stargazy pie emerge with pumpernickel bread notes.
Intense and fiery, this cask delivers perfumed smoke, burnt lavender, and woodfire ash balanced with lime, vanilla, and cumin. Further palate development reveals burnt toast, chalk, tulips, olive oil cake, and salty margarita notes with pungent oak.
The finish displays a funky and playful character, with lingering ash, oak spice, and the mineral saltiness that carries through from the palate.
