That Boutique-y Whisky Company (distilled at Paul John) 6 year old, 52.9%
Price: $130 ● Issue: Summer 2018 ● Reviewer: Jonny McCormick
Where Batch 4 is peaty, Batch 5 is smoky, joining aromas of after-dinner mints, rich orange, fondant creams, salted caramel, and sour fruits. On sipping, mint chocolate finds accord with the nose, before a summit of smoke and pepper, then apple, milk chocolate, creamy coffee, and late black currant notes. The smoke hangs deep at the back of the throat. Good flavor trajectory and complexity, with a drying chocolate finish.(822 bottles)
