Three Ships 12 Year Old

Smell

The Three Ships 12 Year Old greets the nose with a vanilla-sweet note that immediately conveys a pleasant warmth. This is followed by a malty, cereal flavour reminiscent of freshly baked bread. A hint of sponge cake lends the flavour a subtle but seductive sweetness. Interestingly, iodised nuances also emerge, which, together with medicinal smoke, are reminiscent of a gentle, peaty landscape. A subtle note of suede rounds off the complex bouquet and gives the whisky an elegant, earthy depth.

Taste

On the palate, the Three Ships 12 Year Old unfolds a fascinating palette of flavours. The first impression is of a pine forest, fresh and green, with hints of forest floor and decayed needle leaves adding an earthy, natural note. These woody flavours are enlivened by a zesty citrus freshness that adds a vibrant and refreshing dimension to the whisky.

Finish

The finish is long and salivating, a sign of its high quality and complexity. A peppery, spicy note lingers on the tongue and ensures a warm, pleasant finish that leaves you wanting more.
