A DELICATESSEN SHOPPING BASKET

This Islay whisky bottled at 55.6% is from a refill sherry butt from a parcel of casks filled on September 25th 1997

Flavour profile:  Lightly peated

Outturn:  609 bottles

Panel's tasting note: "This had all the makings of a great feast of prosciutto ham, sundried tomatoes, roasted fish skins, sushi and brown sauce. A leather jacket stuffed into a canvas bag and a pouch of pipe tobacco. A damp forest with recently burnt heather and a shale beach. Much discussion ensued on the topic of ham - honey glazed or German peppered? We were all in agreement that it had delicious foodie characteristics in a warm plastic box. Lavender lip balm and orange peel were detectable above the blast of tar, sea spray, incense sticks and wet burlap."

Drinking tip: "Drink neat or only a splash of water"

 

750 ml
