That Boutique-y Whisky Company (distilled at North British; batch 2), 49.3%
Price: ● Issue: Winter 2015 ● Reviewer: Jonny McCormick ● Category: Single Grain Scotch
Papier mâché, adhesives, lemongrass, green cardamom, peanut, pear, and other aromatic, fruity characteristics create a puzzling aroma profile. On sipping, there is fruity baked apple, sherbet, and glowing light citrus notes of orange, grapefruit, and lime, with a medium weight structure. The flavors tip toward a slight sour fruit note, but as this flattens out, creaminess rules. The finish suffers a short, quick death, leaving mild, sour fruit. Water brings crystallized lemon on the nose and sweeter, light fruits.£63
