Cask No. G15.7

A wee cheeky chappie

Highland, Southern

The nose wafted herbal, slightly medicinal smoke menthol, mint and eucalyptus, garden bonfires, pine resin and Manuka honey on burnt toast. The palate had an endearing cheeky chappie youthfulness wood smoke, tree bark, light tar and liquorice, Refreshers, lemon and orange sweets, candle wax, coal dust and leather boots. With water, the nose became more maritime tarry driftwood, lobster creels and storm-tossed seaweed at high tide also black tea, cereals and vanilla custard slice. The palate now had a pleasant tart and sweet balance (Old English Spangles, Apple Sourz, lemon tea) with a lingering depth of peat smoke, chilli and ginger.
