From the Distillery:
Aged in bourbon & high-vanillin casks - Vanillin is an aromatic compound which brings vanilla flavours to whisky. When you toast barrels, the lignin (which aids the wood’s structure) breaks down and releases compounds including vanillin. Our new oak casks have been especially toasted to bring out more vanilla qualities, hence these casks being called “high-vanillin” casks.
On the Nose: A burst of manuka honey, with lemon-flavoured butter candy, baking raisin bread, candied orange peel, peaches, toffee and a hint of spice. A splash of water brings vanilla crème anglaise with a hint of coconut and almond marzipan.
On the Palate: The texture is thick, rich and creamy. It is followed by a huge burst of sweet and spicy flavours – brioche, almond marzipan, honeycomb, fudge, lemon sherbet and desiccated coconut.
Finish: A long, lingering aftertaste combines hints of toffee apple, sweet popcorn and a note of aniseed.
