White Heather 15 Year

$119.99

This Blended Scotch whisky is composed of single malts from the Speyside, Islay, and Northern Highlands, blended with grain whisky. The spirits initially matured in American oak and Sherry Buts, before being Billy Walkered (re-racked) into PX and Oloroso Puncheons as well as some Virgin American oak, for a finishing period. The whiskies were then blended back together and bottled at 46%.

Andrew's Tasting Note

Nose: fruity, spicy, and nutty with leather and tobacco; dried figs, jammy berry fruits, and orange oil; caramel chews, firm leather, and spicy tobacco with a faint whiff of smoke.

Palate: nutty, spicy, and fruity with more leather and tobacco; toasty, earthy, dunnage warehouse notes; firm new leather, dried tobacco leaf, and raw cocoa nibs; figs, orange rind, Murphy's Lemon Oil Soap, and Strawberry Twizzlers to round things out; grilled (slightly burnt) PB&J sandwiches; a touch of salted caramel and faint oily peat.

Finish: warming, spicy, and toasty with fading figs, salted caramel and orange oil; light and fresh.

Comment: this doesn't drink like a blend, it drinks like a delicately sherried malt, with the faintest hint of peat.

Producer Tasting Note

Nose: Waves of heather honey and butterscotch, followed by orange peel, pineapple, mint, and a hint of peat.

Taste: Layers of treacle, heather honey and butterscotch, followed by orange peel, grapefruit and almonds, with mocha, ginger and a light whisp of peat smoke on the finish.
