About The Whisky Trail
"This Whisky Trail range has been inspired by Scotland’s 2003 Land Reform Act: Freedom to Roam. This Act gives everyone the right to access the countryside for recreational and educational purposes. There are 28 single cask bottlings that are a part of this range, and highlight the scenes found while exploring Scotland’s awe-inspiring landscape. Only whiskies that demonstrate the most exceptional characteristics are bottled as part of the Whisky Trail range - each cask as unique as a fingerprint, no two expressions will ever be the same. To ensure each whisky maintains its full flavour and cask character, we never chill-filter or add colour."

700 mlAndrew's Tasting Note
Nose: thick, honeyed, doughy, and fruity; bursting with exotic fruits... passion fruit, acai berries, pomegranate, and plantains; creamed heather and Manuka honeys; fresh raspberries on dark chocolate cake; crème Brulé and panna cotta; French crêpes dusted in powdered sugar and drizzled with lemon juice; more than a little antique-y.
Palate: round, coating, and toasty with layers of fruit, honey, and delicate spice; more passion fruit, acai berries, and plantains; old-fashioned doughnuts, bread and butter pudding, Honey Nut Cornflakes, and Dulce de leche; more French crêpes with powdered sugar and lemon juice; flowerless dark chocolate cake with sea salt and fresh raspberries; Manuka honey, soft new leather, and a touch of tobacco; cinnamon toast and ginger molasses cookies kick off the spices which build into cloves and fennel seed; earthy and antique-y at the back end, with sauteed mushrooms, vellichor, and a musty dunnage warehouse note.
Finish: long, coating, and antique-y with layers of fruit, sweet treats, and decadent spice; ending in musty old warehouses and more vellichor.
Comment: it needs time in the glass to express itself, but your patience will be rewarded; I was expecting another Edrington-esque, sherry forward Blended Malt, but this is something altogether different; if I had to guess, I would wager that this liquid's origins probably trace back to William Grants; but is it Balfiddich or Glenvenie? We'll likely never know... but it is a lovely old antique-y malt at a very fair price!
Producer Tasting Note
Nose: Cinnamon and cardamom pastry rolls, dusted with vanilla sugar. Satsumas, stewed with strawberries and plums.
Palate: Rich and chewy spiced plum and apple pudding, served with vanilla cream and toffee drops.
Finish: Long and rich with dates, dried red fruits, oak spice, and gingerbread.
