Notes
Cask No. 41.106
Masterchef Final
Speyside, Spey
Bottle selected by world-renowned Scottish whisky expert and writer Charlie MacLean*
The nose is a complex and interesting combination of waxed hardwoods, sorrel leaf, cinema popcorn and crushed rowan berries – also some cooked food notes (fresh donuts, tempura) – you could be hiding in the cleaning cupboard on the set of Masterchef. The neat palate is tingly and lively with tobacco leaf and Haribo Sour Worms. With a good splash of water, the nose discovers spicy fruits (peppered strawberries) and Old English Spangles. The palate now finds perfumed sweets and fresh pineapple sprinkled with salt and chilli powder. Curious at the start but with time it grows on you.
