The 6th Edition from The Whisky Makers Reserve series. This batch focuses on Oloroso, PX & Spanish Red Wine seasoned casks, using both American & Spanish Oak. Deep in colour and flavour, this batch oozes red fruit and complex wood tannins and spice, which is only amplified by the spirit’s naturally fruity style. Perfect as a midwinter dessert. Or Lunch, or Breakfast. We don’t judge.
Tasting Notes:
Nose: Red currants, cranberry, plum, blackcurrants and hints of raspberry and strawberry. The red fruits then mingle with sticky date pudding, freshly baked strawberry tarts and a floral tropical note.
Palate: Creamy and smooth almost buttery, lashings of red fruits which are now accompanied by raisins, sultanas, warm honey and soft toffee notes.
Finish: Red fruits and dark fruits dance on the tongue, floral hibiscus notes and lingering drying oak spice.
