The Busker Single Malt, 44.3%
Price: $30 ● Issue: Winter 2020 ● Reviewer: Jonny McCormick
This is the best of the range: It carries more weight and shows greater depth than Royal Oak Distillery's other Buskers. An enticing nose of fresh conference pear, apple peels, baking spice, nutmeg, and a hint of smoked orange peel. Its well-rounded and smooth character carries flavors of toffee, apple, sultana, and vanilla essence, broadening out with chocolate ganache, active spices, milky coffee, caramel, and rich fruit.
