Lombard Jewels of Scotland

Auchroisk Distillery

Single Cask

ABV 56.8%

Almost pure jalapeno juice at first, water brings a more agave sweetness to it. A whisky possibly for a Bloody Mary?

Tasting Notes

Rob Allanson

Taster

Nose: Honeynut cornflakes, chilli and honey roast chicken, a little floral quality. Grilled pineapple and roasted corn with sea salt and mayonnaise. Hot butter laden rye bread. Creamy with a little spice pep.

Palate: A little salt edge, more like the fatty edges of Iberico ham, water really sweetens this out a lot. Roast red peppers and olive oil.

Finish: Warming and mellow, more so with water. A chilli spice hit.

Comment: Almost pure jalapeno juice at first, water brings a more agave sweetness to it. A whisky possibly for a Bloody Mary?

Score: 8.1

Sam Coyne

Taster

Nose: Sugary milk, somebody's left their Frosties too long. Salted butter and a caramel note.

Palate: Quite savoury, cooked smoked bacon, that's just crisped on the edges. Faintly honeyed, and warm pancakes.

Finish: Short, but with water leaves a little bit more of an impression. Oakier that the palate and nose would suggest.

Comment: Rich and just a hint of sweetness. Mostly savoury, but the odd wave of sweetness does balance it well.

Score: 8
