Description

From the team

Distillery 39 is like pineapple chunks as new make, but sugared lemon cake as it grows up. An odd setup where the spirit still is larger than the wash still, and they run a long ferment and slow distillation run. Quickly being discovered more and more by whisky aficionados as a top-shelf malt, this special release is full maturation in a bourbon barrel to celebrate the triple century of our 300^th cask from distillery 39!

Tasting Panel notes

The dancefloor was buzzing with gooseberries, papayas and redcurrants as DJ Pineapple dropped another disco classic on the lemon meringue turntables. Candied fruit and apple slices boogied on a bed of oat porridge, their feet sticking to drizzles of thick treacle. With a dash of water a box of orange fondant chocolates appeared amid a cloud of icing sugar and cinnamon dust. The music veered towards a French theme as buttery pastries and croissants from a patisserie jived with ripe pears and juicy apples. The delicate character of raspberry tea, served with a slice of fresh lemon, rounded out the night, joined by just a hint of birch tree syrup.
