Tasting Notes

Nose

Red cherries, vanilla, honey, toasted oak, nutmeg, cloves, toffee, caramel, faint chocolate and Turkish Delight — the Burgundy influence adding a wine-like quality

Palate

Red forest fruits, creamy malt, toasted nuts, vanilla sugar, berries, apple, some oak and black pepper — the Pinot Noir barrique adding fruit depth

Finish

Medium — red fruit, oak, sugar sweetness, surprising pepper and clove heat for 43%, the Burgundy cask leaving its signature

Expert Review

7/10

Highland malt finished in 228-litre Burgundy Pinot Noir barriques from Château de Chassagne-Montrachet — the '228' refers to the cask size in litres. Founded 1949 in Blackford, between Perth and Stirling, on the site of a brewery dating to the 12th century. Initially matured in first-fill bourbon barrels, then finished for 12 months in the Burgundy casks.
