Tasting Notes

Nose

Honey and vanilla cream, lemon meringue, biscuit dough, toffee, butterscotch — warm and inviting like the old mill

Palate

Buttery and silky — chocolate orange, honeyed malt sweetness, cinnamon and stem ginger, clove warmth, nutmeg spice throughout

Finish

Rye bread and fiery oak spice, punchy for a 12 year old — the 46.3% delivers without flinching, dry and warming

Expert Review

7/10

A 1785 cotton mill designed by Sir Richard Arkwright, converted to a distillery in 1966 — and the only distillery in Scotland fully self-powered by its own hydro-electric turbine on the River Teith. It even sells surplus electricity back to the National Grid. Non-chill filtered, no colour added, at a punchy 46.3%.
