THE BEE'S KNEES

This 9 year Highland Island malt was bottled at 59.5% after maturing in a refill barrel

Flavour Profile: Lightly peated

Outturn: 204 bottles

Panel's Tasting Note:  "A fascinating combination of aromas ranging from sweet to salt and smoke kept us all very much engaged and interested; sea salt caramels, a salted chocolate tart using smoked sea salt and churros with salty peanut sugar and bitter chocolate.  It tastes exactly how it noses.  It was big in every sense; sweet, salty, smoky – simply stunning and best described by the following remarks; ‘dog’s bollocks’ and ‘bee’s knees’!  Reluctantly we added a drop of water, however we still enjoyed that very unusual combination we experienced neat but now, admittedly, a little tamer but still tantalizing every nook and cranny of our tongue."

Drinking Tip:  "Life begins at the end of your comfort zone"
