HILL-WALKING HAPPINESS

This 11 year old from the Highlands was matured in a 1st fill hogshead and comes in at 54.8%.

Flavour profile:  Spicy & sweet.

Outturn:  295 bottles.

Panel's tasting note:  "A clean, fresh nose of cereal and wood (tea chests, polished wood, cardboard, straw, weaving looms and ‘my outdoor gear cupboard’) – then sugared almonds, donuts and chocolate raisins to balance. Our palates tingled with ginger snaps, cinnamon stick, leather and nutmeg – plus chocolate toffee éclairs, vanilla and cinnamon swirls.

Adding water, our noses found burlap, dried herbs, liquorice root, orange oil and putty, with ice-cream wafers and Tunnock’s Snowballs (chocolate and coconut-covered marshmallows). The palate now became sweeter – toffee, walnut whip, spun sugar and apple crumble topping; with wood spices, beeswax, white pepper and lemon cough drops to finish."  GIVING SPIRIT BOTTLE - read more about this program here.
