50ml mlEvan’s Tasting Note
Nose: Candied and chocolate-driven up front – like those Cadbury Mini Eggs with the hard candy shell on the outside. I can almost smell those pastel colours on the shell…Also canned pears, pineapple slices, and peaches all in sweet syrup, fresh strawberries, and a touch of a chalky fruit note like grape-flavoured Children’s Tylenol in chewable tablet form.
Palate: Very fruity with some chalky and creamy texture on the tongue. More of what was on the nose is in evidence. Cotton candy, a bag of Skittles, fresh and juicy pineapple and mango slices, and surprisingly more purple-flavoured Children’s Tylenol chewable tablets.
Finish: Soft and fruity with a touch of acidity to keep it juicy plus a hint of chalkiness on the fade.
Comment: Proof that a 10-year-old whisky doesn’t have to be boring, this is a crowd pleasure of a fruit bomb that is both approachable and full of flavour.
Andrew, and Dave Worthington of That Boutique-y Whisky Company, have collaborated on a video, where they talk about the label and taste the whisky. You can find that video on YouTube here.
