ANGEL IN A SAUNA WEARING WELLIES

An Islay whisky at 56.8% after 10 years in a Refill Hogshead cask. 

Panel's Tasting Note: "On the one hand, the nose had orchard fruits, sweet barley and lemon bonbons – but on the other; burnt heather, ash, carbolic, coal-dust, barbecued ribs, salt-cooked prawns and a freshly laid tarmac road by the sea. The palate was angelically sweet, with citric notes (lemon zest, chocolate limes rolled in ash) and a cedar wood sauna. With water, the nose shifted to honey and sweet cereal bars counterpointing bitumen, wellington boots, wax and smoke. The reduced palate discovered tobacco, menthol, vanilla, macadamia and pistachio, along with cheesy footballs by a swimming pool. The distillery was founded by the Johnston brothers."

Drinking Tip: "A reward after taking a dip - whether in the sea or in a sauna plunge pool."
