Notes
Cask No. 7.151
Lebkuchen and marrons glacés
Speyside, Lossie
The nose gave us lots of sweet indications (nougat, chocolate fudge, vanilla ice-cream, caramel), plentiful fruit (fruit punch, Starburst), putty, painted wood and laundry. The palate had rather more fruit, but also with big, impressive heat in it – we got lime juice on mango and pineapple sprinkled with salt and chilli; the sweetness came through as Lebkuchen, iced caramels and marrons glacés. The reduced nose seemed even fruitier – apples, piña colada and fruits soaked in Calvados. The reduced palate was juicy and fruity, with mango and passion-fruit, some light wood (sappy twigs) and a salt and ginger kick in the tail.
