Blackberries, bubble-gum, and bougainvillea

Highland, Southern

Eavesdropping on the panel you would have heard words like fascinating, amazing, compelling, and heavenly enough said? No? OK on the nose we got vanilla, concentrated coconut, perfumed oak, tropical island cocktails, lemongrass, lavender and mango. The palate discovered grapefruit, passion-fruit, melon and nectarines, Flumps, blue raspberry bonbons, white chocolate gateau and very old bourbon. The reduced nose continued to delight us, with Lilt, blackberries, bubble-gum and bougainvillea. The taste was now an intriguing mix of bananas flambed with rum, fudge, liquorice, dandelion and burdock and dried papaya. A very unusual but powerfully rewarding dram.
