From The Producer

"Built in 1817, Teaninich is a Highland single malt distillery. It’s quite unique-y really, instead of a mash tun, it uses a filter press to extract the sweet sugars from the malt. There is much mystery surrounding the distillery, so we did as all Boutique-y’s do and went to town on the label - see below.

The Label

Based on a true love story from many years ago about Captain Hugh Munro (founder of this distillery). He was shot in the head behind his eyes but, he survived! Unsurprisingly, he lost his eyesight as a result. His sweetheart was forbidden from marrying him due to his condition, so she married someone else. Despite their differing paths, she continued to love him and as her dying wish, visited the church to see him one last time."

Evan’s Tasting Note

Nose: Floral and grassy – like you are in a meadow in the spring - just after a light rain. Chamomile tea, angel food cake, cantaloupe slices, grapefruit peels, polished oak, and a touch of chalk dust and Crayola crayons.

Palate: Creamy, chalky and slightly waxy on the tongue in a delightful manner with notes of vanilla pod, white chocolate, ripe pears, honeydew melon, a touch of pomelo citrus, chamomile tea again, candied ginger and a hint of salt.

Finish: Light and creamy and nearly ethereal with the occasional burst of flavour to remind you of how good it tastes.

Comment: This is light done right, and is spot on what I was hoping: Exhibit A on how balanced and delicious a delicate whisky can be. Nothing is overpowering here, but it has poise and finesse that many more full-flavoured whiskies often lack. I am buying myself a larger bottle of this right now.
