Notes
Cask No. 7.203
Angels’ tears
Speyside, Lossie
Bottle selected by world-renowned Scottish whisky expert and writer Charlie MacLean*
At the start, the nose delivers orange fondant, orange coconut ice, apricot Danish and roasted peaches – gradually a floral note emerges – maybe a flower vase on a watchmaker’s workbench. The palate has a delightful soft, viscous texture and flavours of golden syrup, sweet coconut cream and pink wafers – so warming it’s almost salty – like angels’ tears. With water the nose finds chocolate tea cakes and sweetie tobacco. The palate is pure expanding joy – filling the mouth with warm spice and sweetness – spiced plum crumble, cinnamon gum, hot cross buns and Oddfellows sweets – a nippy tease tantalises the finish.
