From the team
We don’t see too many 11s. Beyond this year’s Whisky Wanderers Festivals, the last significant release was our Australian-exclusive 20yo back in 2022. It’s even less common to see peated distillate from this tropical set of copper stills. Expect fragrant, tropical smoke in each sip with banana toffee, charred wood, and pear tart abound. Don’t miss this sleeper!
Tasting Panel notes
The nose had subtle, light smoke (hot sanded wood, perfume and cigarettes) with zesty elements of grapefruit or lemon balanced by banana toffee, pain au chocolat and cherry ice-cream sweetness. The palate found tingling smoke (burnt sage leaves, hot stones, charred wood) but not enough to overpower the other flavours of pear tart, mango and brandy-soaked plums, or the finish of pickled ginger, sweet chilli sauce, cinnamon and clove. The reduced nose encountered caramel wafers and butterscotch, dried heather flowers, fly cemeteries and rain on a chimney. Fruit dominated the palate now, bringing lemonade, pineapple, lychee, cranachan and white wine poured over embers.
