Nose

Frazzles! Sulphury (good sulphur), salty and bacon-like, with a sweet maple glaze, fresh figs and a dollop of rich strawberry jam.

Palate

Waxy and sweet, with cooked cranberries, blackcurrants and prunes, plus a dollop of dark chocolate mousse. The stewed bramble fruits mingle with the meatiness seamlessly.

Finish

Soft barbeque smoke, pulled pork and, for dessert, some chocolate cheesecake.

Comment

Such a fun whisky and well integrated, although the sulphur may not be to everyone’s liking.
