Starward Left-Field

Drink without prejudice. Something, well, from left field. The red wine cask influence is there in a slightly acidic apple bite on the nose. The flavour in the mouth is almost speyside in the sultana riff but featuring sour cherry and orchard fruit, orange rind, ginger, and a bready mustiness. Red wine funk is in the house. Left Field resolves itself with a clean, almost sweet vinegar, note and a passing whiff of cocoa. I like this, especially at the bargain price, but mostly because many wine cask finishes are an excuse to flog fifth rate spirit. And this ain't. I imagine it won't be to everyone's taste but give it a go.

Dark red fruit and some dark brown sugar on the nose. Light tannins, caramel, medium length finish with light spice.

Nose : light, apple Mouth : cappucino, very smooth, sweet Finish : tropical, mango Very easy and very drinkable.

Light and fruity with a notable wine cask finish. Nice, enjoyable whisky.

Fruits and oak. Simple but really enjoyable. Nice discovery.
