Andrew's Tasting Note
Nose: creme brulee and dulce de leche; almond brittle with vanilla ice cream and cracked walnuts; chewy malt and toasted oak; a faint touch of smoke.
Palate: soft, creamy and packed with barley; ashy smoke and a flinty minerality; more almond brittle, vanilla ice cream and toasted oak; baked apples and loads of citrus: lemon and lime; a hint of linseed oil and wood furniture polish.
Finish: long and coating the spirit is barley forward with a hint of clean smoke.
Comment: another fine example of Shelter Point's dialed in spirit and knack for bottling young whiskies with loads of complexity!
Producer Description
“At Shelter Point we’re in together. Every one of our five local staff contributes to the character and success of the distillery, so we asked each one to choose a favourite whisky cask to include in this special release that celebrates our people. The result is a delicious blend of five specially selected casks that reflect the collective spirit and passion of our Shelter Point family. All whiskies selected are at least 4 years old.”
Producer Tasting Note
“On the nose, The Collective has distinct notes of vanilla and cinnamon with bursts of fruity flavor. The palate is spicy and fruity leading to the satisfying finish that is long with an assortment of spices, cherry wood and salt.”
