Cask No. 46.121 Bourbon With water there were more

With water there were more earthy notes of hay and sautéed mushrooms joining waxy fruit that had become much more tropical with hints of honey and pear jam

The nose neat had the sweet dimension of lemon bonbons

we could literally smell the sea with a trawler and a Clyde Puffer in the distance as well as the ferry coming from Tobermory to the slipway at Kilchoan

opened a heather ale and had smoky candy floss before we ate a Reuben sandwich with homemade smoky Russian dressing and a spiced rum soaked Jamaican ginger cake accompanied by a ‘Phenol Espresso’

Cask No. 46.121 Bourbon With water there were moreA rather snazzy nose at first, full of spiced vanilla cake, white miso, green pepper, limoncello mixed with tonic water and a light, easy earthiness. Some grassy olive oil and fruit salad chewy sweets as well. With water we noted lime curd, elderflower cordial, mossy tree bark and cinnamon pastries. The neat palate was very easy going and yet possessed a nicely assertive nibble of white pepper and caraway. Some pineapple juice in the background too.
