Distiller Notes
Peaty but less sherry forward than other batches, more subtle sherry, slightly brighter with more orchard fruits, apricot, green apple, the freshness and cask spice come through more and the peat is less prominent but consistent throughout. Sherry fruit introduction, peat spice building, malty drying finish with some minerals and a pinch of salt before becoming a little peppery.
“A good gulp of hot Scotch Whisky at bedtime–it’s not very scientific, but it helps!”
Alexander Fleming, Scottish inventor of penicillin, prescribed it as a cure for the common cold. Today Single Malt Scotch Whiskies are prized by enthusiasts and aficionados the world over for their rarity, age and complexity. By definition these must be produced in Scotland from a single distillery and made entirely from malted barley, using a pot still. The appearance, aroma and flavor of a Single Malt Scotch Whisky can vary widely depending on whether it was produced in the Highlands, Lowlands Islands, Speyside, Islay or Campbelltown regions.
