Two Brewers Yukon Single Malt Release 21

This item is archived.

Bottled at 46%, Two Brewers Release 21 is a return to the "Classic" profile. Described as a "sturdy dram braced with the fresh oak of new barrel aging brings a complex series of sensations." Produced from predominantly standard mashes (85%) and a few specialty malt mashes. A majority of the whisky was matured in "new wood", and after blending the whisky was married in older casks for 6 months.

Andrew's Tasting Note

Nose: rich, honeyed and very fruity: Jujubes and Wine Gums; freshly lacquered wood paneling; sour melon and bitter orange; paraffin wax and white chocolate.

Palate: round, rich and malty with loads of malt and barley tones; the juicy fruits are still there, more Jujubes and Wine Gums, bitter orange and sour melon; maybe even a tad tropical; crisp oak and more lacquered wood paneling; thick with sweet honey and a touch of perfume; peanut butter and honey sandwiches?!

Finish: thick, coating and malty with soft honey; medium long with loads of fruits and toasted oak; 

Comment: this whisky is almost too busy, voluptuously fruity, but it is young, and left longer, perhaps in refill barrels there is the DNA here for something great; very complex and packed with flavours it is also very approachable and elegant with shades of maturity... so much promise here, I hope they are laying down stock to be bottled at greater ages!

Producer Tasting Note

"The introduction is brash, tingling with mineral and spearmint effervescence over notes of wet hay and malt. A creamy soft entry delays the edgy touches of tannic oak, dry and sturdy. Hints of mandarin and mango are present before a toffee tinted flourish lingers into a drying finish."
