Description
Cask 2.140 Calorific nonchalance
If nosing a whisky was part of our daily calorie count, this dram would have us on a diet by now: sticky toffee pudding, vanilla ice cream, plums stewed in pine resin, and grapes pressed into honeycomb. The palate was equally impressive, with figs drizzled in balsamic glaze, ginger cheesecake, malted milk biscuits, fruit leather and sweet soy beef jerky. Water served a slice of mandarin sponge cake, with custard and orange blossom mingling with chocolate and miso caramel ice cream. After 14 years in an ex-oloroso butt, we transferred this into a first fill, shaved, toasted and re-charred oloroso-seasoned butt for the remainder of its maturation.
Cask 2.142 Mr Smith does bake-off
Initial nosing revealed toffee, condensed milk, banoffee pie, tobacco leaf, kumquat and watermelon. Then, behind that, came a clump of richly fruity Dundee cake and some freshly baked white bread. Water revealed walnut whip, hazelnut liqueur, hessian and salted honey cashew nuts. The neat palate displayed a lovely dark fruit character, with fig rolls, brandy snaps, toasted hot cross buns and raspberry coulis all noted. Reduction delivered complex suggestions of medium-dry white wines, crystallised honey, rich custard made with sauternes, baked apple, crushed walnuts and sunflower oil.
