Cask No. 156.4

A playful and very intriguing nose was dominated initially by buttery popcorn, sandalwood, green banana and party rings. We also noted lemon bonbons, chalk dust, pineapple tarts and battenberg cake. Water brought out pressed flowers, oatcakes, cereals and Turkish delight. The neat palate was full of rich cereal notes, linseed oil, touches of caraway and hints of candied hazelnuts and limoncello liqueur, plus some lovely lemon and lime citrus vibes. Reduction brought an oiliness to the texture and some more complex herbal qualities such as verbena and bay leaf. We also noted sunflower and pumpkin seeds, pistachio cake and jelly babies.
