Distiller Notes
2021 San Francisco World Spirits Competition Double Gold Medal Winner
Full gold. A chocolate note introduces concentrated fruit, spiced with cinnamon. There’s milky coffee too, with just a trace of beeswax. Medium to full bodied and soft. Vanilla becomes more pronounced in the mid-palate then lightly tightens its grip as a spiced edge comes through with coriander, pepper and lemon. Smooth, with light toasty oak, which becomes more mellow if water is added. Well balanced, with the peppery spice leaving a spicy tingle and a creamy, violet-scented aftertaste.
“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.
