Cask & Bottle Co Single Cask Malt Whisky Aged 10 Years tasting notes
Limited run single cask whiskeys are released one cask at a time. This inaugural offering, from a decade old single hogshead cask (no. 2403), is limited to just 391 bottles, and is bottled at 46.7% ABV.
Non chill filtered, the liquid is wan of hue, and offers dark cherries and marzipan on the nose. On the palate this develops into a full blown fruit cake, with notes of liquorice and aniseed.
Agreeably light and smooth in the mouth, when it exits I’m reminded of Bazooka Joe, the bubble gum that I used to enjoy as a kid, the one that came with a little comic strip wrapped in the packet.
Needless to say, my sample bottle didn’t last long.
The Cask & Bottle Single Malt Aged 10 Years is priced at £85, and is available from caskandbottleco.com.
