JAZZED UP BANANA SPLIT

This 26 year old single grain whisky came from a refill hogshead and is 59.7%

Flavour profile:  Juicy, oak & vanilla

Outturn:  258 bottles

Panel's tasting note:  "Our inspired musings included sawdust sprinkled on soft fruits (plum, peach, pineapple), dried flowers in wicker baskets, crushed nettles and buttered popcorn – interesting nose, enthused imaginings. The palate was sweet (butterscotch, caramel popcorn, vanilla, sweet liquorice), but we also found lively, warm wood tannins, chili jam, fruit schnapps and perfume; hints of gentian and ginger in the finish. The reduced nose offered banana split (including maple syrup, chocolate sauce and ice-cream), but all jazzed up by menthol, eucalyptus, lavender oil, potpourri and wasabi. The reduced palate successfully integrated toffee, love hearts and candy necklaces with menthol vapour rub and tree bark bitterness."

Drinking tip:  "Slightly more vibrant at natural strength - a bit of a curiosity dram"
