Distillery: Cotswolds Bottler: Distillery Age: NAS Distilled: N/A Bottled: 2023 Cask: Oloroso with first fill ex-red wine and bourbon barrels Abv: 50% Unchillfiltered: Yes Natural Colour: Yes Nb of bottles: 3500 Extra: Distillery Club Exclusive My tasting notes: Nose: Sweet, rich and fruity, with oak spice, caramel, red and yellow fruit, brown sugar, some raisin and slight molasse notes. Palate: Sweet and spicy, with sugar-coated almonds, toffee, raspberries, hints of lemon rinds, some orange bitterness, dried fruits and some spirity notes. Finish: Quite nutty and spicy, warming Oloroso, dried figs, prunes and slight aniseed. This is very good! With water: The spicer, hotter notes are dialled down, there’s more caramel, treacle and some fennel seeds. This is a very enjoyable single malt from a distillery I have always enjoyed exploring! Worth a punt in my opinion! Slàinte all!
