Mossburn Signature Casks Series Island Blended Malt, 46%

Price: 50 Issue: Fall 2018 Reviewer: Jonny McCormick Category: Blended Malt Scotch Whisky

Smoke and spice and all things nice. With Mossburn Cask Bill #1, the blenders created a finishing cask using first-fill bourbon staves with heads of heavily toasted virgin European oak. Baked citrus with some fresh grapefruit sharpness, raw butternut squash, and a cool line in salty smoke. The palate riffs off wine gums, citrus, savory smoke, bitter roots, pepper, and clove, leaving a long, smoky finish.
