Cask No. RW6.2

About Little drops of love:Welcome, Distillery RW6! Rye thrives in the harsh climate of Finland and the five friends who started this distillery are thriving as well! An inspiring range of malted rye bottlings caught our attention and were excited to share them with you. Sweet and savoury worlds collide with this altogether unique export from Scandinavia.

Tasting Panel Note: This was a real foodie dram on the nose. A spicy root beer barbecue sauce followed by olive oil, cranberry and apricot scones gave this a real umami vibe. This was reinforced on the palate, as we found sweet, sticky and savoury char siu pork belly burnt ends and, in the finish, caramelised spruce tip syrup. After the careful addition of water, there was an initial gentle hint of tobacco which was beautifully balanced by the scent of beeswax and marzipan. To taste, fig and lemon verbena jam spiked with the Scandinavian spirit aquavit the main ingredients being herbaceous caraway, spicy fennel and dill seeds. Kippis!
