INTENSELY TASTEY
An 11 year old Ileach from a Refill Sherry Butt at 66.7%.
Panel's Tasting Note: On the nose it reminds you of tobacco leaves and fish drying on wooden racks by the shore. Imagine Germolene antiseptic, First Aid boxes and soap in a coal scuttle. In a fisherman’s boot you find salt and smoke. If you’re hungry- seafood platters, dark honey, bacon and rye bread with caraway, sausage with fennel. To taste - sea shells on a salty jetty; treacle and spicy liquorice, Tabasco and Scotch Bonnet peppers; toasted caraway and sesame seeds drizzled with honey. Tantalising seafood cocktail and oily mackerel. Tempted by deep-fried Mars Bars? Cooked in the same oil as the fish? Imagine This! Initial distillation 2001.
Drinking Tip: Imagine This - under the stars with Jolly Jack Tars

Distiller’s Tasting Note
Nose: This whisky has a real Springbank nose, earthy, peat with a salty coastal influence.
Palate: The palate is fruity; apricots and peaches are accompanied by buttery, creamy nutty shortbread. This is a lip licking whisky, oily and chewy.
Finish: The finish is long, smooth and complex with a lingering sweetness and saltiness.”

Nose: Beautiful sweet fresh summer fruits. Creamy with a hint of peat and classic cigar box notes.
Palate: Smooth and elegant, particularly for an 11 year old. Good peat influence accompanied by the juicy current notes of lingonberries.
Finish: A soft oaty creaminess provokes thoughts of brie and cranberry on oatcakes. Long and sweet.
