Smell

The first impression? Peach meets malty sweetness, accompanied by a good portion of coconut.Then things get more interesting:A hint of gluten (the good kind, I promise!), creamy vanilla and toasted bread make their presence felt. These are joined by pear and other stone fruits - a fruity yet warming flavour with a little surprise twist.

Taste

Bourbon fans, watch out! Strong oak spice, soft berries and a full load of caramel and vanilla dominate the first sip. This is joined by a subtle hint of pineapple, which provides a pleasant freshness.Malt adds depth and the spice does not hold back - a whisky that scores with its intense but charming power.

Finish

This is where the true power of the Englishman is revealed. Strong vanilla and light oak notes characterise the finish, which lingers for a medium length and leaves a sweet trace of brown sugar and - was that banana?

Thoughts

This whisky is a wild mix of bourbon, rye and single malt - and that is exactly what makes it so exciting. Anyone looking for classic Scotch flavours will be surprised, but not disappointed. Instead, there is a fruity, sweet and strong, spicy experience that should be of particular interest to newcomers to higher-proof bottlings. Conclusion: Not a typical single malt.
