RED LIQUORICE SHOELACES

A 10 year old Speysider at 57.4% from a 1st fill barrel

Flavour profile:   Spicy & sweet

Outturn:  241 bottles

Panel's tasting note: "Fruity aromas to start; fresh apricots, orange oil and lemon curd followed by the sweeter notes of Rice Krispie cakes made with golden syrup, vanilla and almond extract. With time crystallized ginger and elderflower ginger ale – very refreshing. The taste is hot and dry with a pleasant bite like a Thai green curry with lemon grass, lime leaves, coconut milk, aniseed, tarragon and coriander. Adding water sherbet-fizzy Refreshers candies, a hint of liquorice, lime marmalade and a sprinkling of icing sugar. The taste is now artificial strawberries, like in red liquorice shoelaces, and ginger nut biscuits dipped in a milky, sugary cup of tea."

Drinking tip: "A sneaky wee afternoon dram"
