This is a relatively oaky Chard, but not overdone. The cream, vanilla and spice of the wood meet up with pineapple, banana, Golden Delicious apple and citrus of the grape. The palate is creamy, with lowish acidity and just a dash of residual sugar. This is tailor-made for parties, get-togethers or simply for sipping.
Rich scents of sherried oak fill the nostrils together with dried citrus-fruit peel, a whiff of peat smoke, and spirity, lightly spicy overtones. On the palate, sherried malty sweetness contrasts with spirit, peat and tobacco ash dryness. Softer creamy notes on the back palate shift to very dry, lightly fiery spirit on the finish. A superbly balanced complex classic malt.
Amazingly deep and enormously complex nose shows sherried fruit cake, candied citrus, cinnamon, clove, vanilla and fine oak. Opens on the palate with creamy smoothness; unfolds richly sherried nutty malt and dried citrus fruit shifting to smoky peat and agreeably fiery spirit on the long, powerful, ashy dry finish. A profound malt to contemplate after dinner.
Unique, using a base of pot-stilled rye; shows spice, pepper and malt with a rich fullness and complex finish. Great in a Negroni or Old Fashioned and as a substitute in traditional rye whiskey-based cocktails.
Complex and aromatic, containing 19 different botanicals including bergamot peel, black peppercorn, cardamom, cinnamon, fennel, ginger and star anise. Fresh, bright, multilayered, expressive and well-balanced; combines citrus, spice and a savoury earthiness. Ideal in a G&T using Fentiman’s tonic.
Aromatic and flavourful with savoury pine, sage, citrus, bay leaf and forest floor. Perfect for a very dry martini. Smells like they distilled a Christmas tree.
Focused with nice balance of plum and berry fruit, soft tannins, soft palate, but nice weight in the mid-palate and a round, elegant, lasting finish. A very good value.
