Cask No. 9.263

A lovely and very elegant nose greeted the panel. Initial notes included butterscotch, lemon peel, heather flowers, chopped almonds and hazelnut liqueur, plus some sweet pineapple and pear aromas. With water it became a notch more savoury, displaying flapjack, fruit scone mix, toasted almonds and gooseberry. A fragrant kiss of rose petals too. The neat palate opened with citrus curds, sweet stout beer, white bread toasted with honey and delicate traces of camphor and green herbs. Water brought out white miso, dried apricot, mineral oils, buttered oatcakes and thyme.
