Cask No. 4.393

We combined selected eight-year-old casks from this distillery, then returned the single malt into various casks to develop further. This is one of those. The nose combined clover honey and heather flowers with bonfire embers, seared padron peppers and barbecued shellfish. The palate’s intense, fiery whack of perfumed smoke, burnt lavender and woodfire ash also suggested lime, vanilla, cumin and pungent oak. On the reduced nose, we gathered driftwood from a rocky shore, toasted marshmallows on the fire and enjoyed stargazy pie with pumpernickel bread. The palate had burnt toast, chalk and tulips, olive oil cake and salty margaritas. Funky and fun.
