Tasting Notes

Nose

Glacé cherries soaked in dark rum, old leather armchairs, cocoa nibs and a whisper of tobacco smoke drifting through a library.

Palate

Rich and oily — black forest gateau, candied orange peel, walnut bread, with sherry cask tannin giving backbone to the Lakeland malt.

Finish

Long, warming, dark-chocolate bitter-sweet with a flicker of clove and dried fig.

Expert Review

8.5/10

The inaugural Whiskymaker's Reserve from Bassenthwaite — a sherry-forward single malt married by Dhavall Gandhi, released 2019 at cask strength.
