$116.99
WHITE CHILI CHOCOLATE: An 11 year old at 59.3% from a !st Fill Barrel distilled in the Speyside. "The taste has a devilish combination; just when a burst of fiery heat explodes in your mouth you get the creamy sweet sensation of white chocolate – quite an experience."
Panel's Tasting Note: "Sweet notes dominate the aromas neat; brown sugar, golden syrup, toffee and the cream of coconut in a piña colada. With time notes of gingerbread and freshly picked blackcurrants appear. The taste has a devilish combination; just when a burst of fiery heat explodes in your mouth you get the creamy sweet sensation of white chocolate – quite an experience. With water fresh, grassy and herbal notes on the nose and creamy on the palate, like a white chocolate lime mousse or a white Russian flavoured coffee with an after dinner mint. Enjoy experimenting adding water to this exciting example from the best-selling malt whisky in Italy."
Drinking Tip: "Have fun experiencing this one neat and then with the addition of water."

A DAY AT THE BEACH: Matured in a Refill Sherry Butt this 18 year old Ileach is 59.8%. "The taste neat is like a ‘pick-me-up’, a sweet, salty and clean fresh sea breeze, oysters with Tobasco sauce and honey butter roasted scallops."
Panel's Tasting Note: "We found ourselves on the beach next to a fishing harbour and the boats are coming in landing their catch of scallops, crabs and langoustines. Aromas of fresh seaweed growing on the rockyshore and old overgrown wooden groynes are mingling with the harbour smells. The taste neat is like a ‘pick-me-up’, a sweet, salty and clean fresh sea breeze, oysters with Tobasco sauce and honey butter roasted scallops. With water warm like the engine room of a fish trawler or starting a barbeque at the end of a hot day. The taste is now of slightly ashy toasted marshmallows, lightly salted macadamia chocolate and in the finish freshly cooked rhubarb with an agave syrup."
Drinking Tip: "In your beach duffle bag for a day at the seaside."
