WHISKY TASTING NOTES
Category: Curious
Nose: Fields of summer grasses, aged hay and almonds kick things off, morphing with hints of Mezcal as the whisky gets a little air.
Palate: On the palate, smoke really comes to the fore, yet always with a backdrop of sweetness and pine enduring through the long finish. Adding water brings a herbaceous note to the whisky and draws out more of the bourbon cask influence, complimenting the whispers of sweet Mezcal. The palette keeps the smoke up front but has a little more mineral edge.
Finish: The finish brings a return to the sweet, fermented hay of the original nose.

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.
