[56.0%・NAS・Bottled in 2017・Official Bottling・Limited Release]
Nose:
A faint grassiness draws out notes of green lychees and heat rub. Beyond that it’s rather new make-y with quite a bare showing of barley husk.
Palate & Finish:
Neutral spirit sweetened by sparse hints of lychee and ginger flower. Juniper berries, green mangos and green papaya salad with some milk chocolate coming out.
Dry and spicy finish.
Thoughts:
Hmm, I think with a longer finishing stint, the lychee liqueur barrel may yet show us something entirely different. Right now it appears to be an unfinished product.
At the moment, the distillery’s exercise of putting young whiskies through curious finishing regimes seemingly serves only to copy and paste some flavours from said odd casks (in this case a lychee liqueur barrel) without actually integrating the influence to enhance the existing flavours of the base whiskies.
One to circle back in a few years’ time perhaps..
