Tasting Notes

Nose

Maple syrup, green apple, milk chocolate, vanilla custard, orange peel, cocoa powder, toasted almond, banana malt, baking spice — richly complex

Palate

Creamy, velvet mouthfeel — vanilla custard, soft baked apple, acacia honey, sugary sultana, nougat, orchard fruit, caramel, nutty banana malted shake

Finish

Medium — oaky, malty, fruity with caramel-banana notes, the five malts creating a depth unusual in American whisky

Hofmann (Forbes 30 Under 30, American Master Distiller of the Year 2018) trained at Heriot-Watt. Acquired by Rémy Cointreau 2017.
