Tasting Notes:

A delightful warm vanilla Danish pastry greets you first, followed by a fruit-forward burst of lychees and rum-soaked raisins. The sweetness of demerara sugar and the citrusy notes of mandarin oranges create a complex and inviting aroma.

The palate is intensely fruity, dominated by flavors of bananas and light fruits, reminiscent of a light brandy. Hints of crème brulee add a creamy richness, while warm alcohols provide depth. The finish is long and dry, leaving a memorable impression.

Chapter 14 of The English Whisky is a testament to the distillery's ability to produce a whisky that is both easy to drink and full of character. Its fresh, cereal notes, subtle oranges, and dried fruits, coupled with the indulgence of crème brulee and ripe summer fruits, make it a standout in any collection. This whisky is perfect for those who appreciate a light, fruit-forward profile with an elegant finish.
