Tasting Notes
This time, it’s the distillery manager Gordon who has picked his favourite combination of casks to create the most moreish of whiskies. 40%abv, 70cl bottle, Scotland. Ordered a bottle of Bruichladdich Islay Barley. I reckon it would've remained intact had it dropped six feet. From the producer. Palate: Vanilla and pear, with soft spices. It arrived in good time and was very well protected. Nc’Nean Distillery is introducing third seasonal release from their Autumn series, Quiet Rebels.

Ginger
5 stars! Really smooth and beautiful colour as well. Fettercairn was a fairly new distillery discovery to me.

Best drunk straight, no need for any water Onto the actual whisky! Very 'fruity' on the nose and palate, oranges and satsumas as well as interesting tropical fruits such as pineapple and mango are more evident. It develops into ginger, toffee and maybe nutmeg, and I've seen people comment that it's a bit like a Jamaica cake which I can relate to.

It's an East Highland distillery which is fairly unusual! The finish is more fruit, clean almost menthol. The whole product feels a bit of affordable luxury and would be a cracking Father's Day or Christmas gift for a whisky lover. Would recommend Fettercairn 12 YO single malt to anyone who would like to try a whisky they don't usually drink.
It's got steams running down the length of the bottle which are meant to represent the water running down the outside of the still. The packaging, bottle and liquid itself are all excellent and the price on Amazon was brilliant!
Sweetness hits you right away at the front of your tongue and that carries through. The brand was recently relaunched without too much noise being made about it and the 12 Year Old is the entry point to a full range of aged single malts. The 12 YO is a fantastic whisky, and given how much I'm enjoying this wonderful single malt I look forward to tasting more of the range. The packaging was lovely with a fairly unusual white box, and a beautiful bottle.
Something a bit more unusual than a Glen whatever. They have a pretty unique and ingenious method of cooling the still with spring water, which apparently lets the lighter vapours and notes rise but the heavier ones fall back down. The spirit is aged in American White Oak ex-bourbon barrels, and is light in colour. There is also vanilla and coffee.
