Two Brewers hit another mileston with Release 15 of their Single Malt Whisky. This release was finished in PX Sherry casks for five months before being bottled at 43% ABV. The whisky is between six and eight years old. 1285 bottles of this batch were released.
Evan's Tasting Note
Nose: vanilla, banana peel, golden raisins, apple-cinnamon oatmeal, toffee drizzle, Juicy Fruit chewing gum, light oak spices and a dash of salt
Palate: oily with some salt and spice notes up front leading to sweet notes of peanut brittle, marshmallows, Crunchie Bar, salted caramel,
Finish: short and sweet with spice on the back end to cleanse the palate and get you ready for another sip.
Comments: A spicier style than I remember noticing on previous Two Brewers releases, but it still hits the typical distillery style of with notes of bananas, peanuts and sponge toffee leading the way.

"1/3 of blend from specialty mashes; Short sherry finish, 5 mos after marrying, added more to flavour complexity than colour development; 66% 5 yr + 4% 6 yr +22% 8yr + 8% 9 yr."
