BLACKPOOL ROCKS WITH THREADS OF CHILI

First Fill Barrel at 58.6% after 11 years from the island of Orkney!

Panel's Tasting Note: "The nose was fresh (freesias, grass, wood-sap, hay fields, laundry, grapes, apples, refreshers) also biscuits, hard candies, café au lait, light tobacco and sea breezes. The unreduced palate was a 'wow' hit of bitter and sweet with dryness and heat – dark chocolate and Blackpool rock with threads of chilli and wasabi. Water improved it – the nose had lemon and lime-flavoured boiled sweets and flower shop freshness but also now some smoke. The reduced palate became more rounded and toothsome – floral, perfumed, lemon zest and 'men's shower gel'; liquorice and Dutch tobacco tethered it to the ground. From Orkney's oldest distillery. Whisky pictured at right is a sample image."

Drinking Tip: ""An aperitif or with a good lunch."
