A new cask strength offering from Glengyle distillery and what a delightful dram it is. Matured for 8 years in bourbon casks and bottled at full strength, 55.8% vol. Sounds and looks delightful, very excited about this latest release from Campbeltown, should be another belter.
Tasting Notes
Awards
Nose
A floral element, reminiscent of elderflower and heather, introduces this dram. There are notes of vanilla and custard creams and a confectionary note to foam bananas.
Palate
Notes of cocoa nibs and Iberico ham are introduced on the palate, paired with an earthy peat smoke influence. The development of a tropical note comes through in hints of pineapple and coconut.
Finish
The peat smoke lingers in the finish along with a digestive biscuit note.
