Tasting Note

"A cask which defied all expectations and proved the beauty of those natural processes which make Scotch whisky such a special product. When I first saw this for sale I wrote it off as too low in ABV as I could not expect it to age any longer. Weeks later I was tasted on it blind and was immediately blown away by the quality; refinement and balance, delicacy and yet subtle power. I could not fault it - a flawless cask showing everything one dreams of in a classic Speyside. Bottled at a gentle cask strength of just 44.9% it shows distinctive fresh orchard and citrus fruit as well as crushed stone and sea salt. As the curator rather than producer I can say without interference from my ego, this is an unmissable whisky." by George Stewart, Founder of Stiùbhart Whisky Co (and formally employee of St Andrews Wine Co!)
