BEESWAX ON A CELLO

The first-ever release from distillery 68 for SMWS Canada!

This 8 year old Highlander was matured in a re-charred hogshead and comes in at 58.1%.

Flavour profile:  Deep, rich & dried fruits.

Outturn:  240 bottles.

Panel's tasting note:  "A complex, layered nose of marzipan and plum jam, apple, cinnamon, apricot and lime – followed by a definite floral aspect of roses, violets and elderflower, finishing up with oak, beeswax on a cello and tobacco strands. The palate was both sweet and tart with damson jam and cherries in dark chocolate, then a curlicue flourish of Fisherman’s Friends sweet teasing spice. The reduced nose found figs, dates, maple syrup, dark toffee and polished red apples in a basket. The palate still displayed that sweet heat – nut brittle, Bakewell tart, sweet cinnamon and liquorice root – interesting, unusual and enjoyable."
