Spade & Bushel 12 year old Double Barrel, 42.3%

Price: 67 Issue: Summer 2019 Reviewer: Jonny McCormick Category: Irish Single Malt

Lemon and lime, grapefruit peel, fondant, and pine needles, with the softness of marshmallows and musty spices. Lemon peel, zested lime, pear, honey, and vanilla flavors, with gentle spice supporting the citrus and stubborn black pepper growing in confidence to play a greater role. Mouthfeel is silky and light, becoming creamy. The finish buzzes with spices and hints of baked citrus. €60
