WHISKY TASTING NOTES
Category: Curious
Nose: We were instantly greeted on the nose with a heady mix of wine gums and blackcurrant Jelly Babies alongside carrot cake, spiced rhubarb crumble, and a touch of mustard powder… just as someone lights a match for the birthday candles!
Palate: The palate brings the party to life with more sweet treats – cinnamon flapjack and ginger cake. Water adds further kitchen delights of egg meringue, sugared boiled sweets, custard and crème brûlée, as well as some calming, and much needed, herbal green tea.
Finish: A slightly unexpected mineralic and mossy finish with a whiff of wood smoke.

About our Bottles
For us, one of the best aspects of a good single malt whisky is its ability to bring people together. So when we created our bottles we wanted to design something that felt like a decanter - meant to be passed around a group of friends, new and old, as they enjoy sharing a dram together.
Our bottles have a good weight to them, making them feel substantial and giving them the presence a good whisky deserves. We've offset the label, so that the whisky is centre stage; it shows the natural colour of the liquid clearly and proudly.
The label clearly and transparently shows you all the key information, including: the nature of the liquid (for example, single malt scotch) where it was distilled; how old it is; and how strong it is. All our liquids are natural colour and non chill filtered.
Our bottles come in two sizes: 700ml, which is our standard for our main releases; and for some of our expressions, 100ml minis.
