Quick Fire Whisky Tasting Notes

Mossburn 12 Year Old Speyside Blended Malt

Finished in Foursquare Rum Casks

Blended Malt Scotch Whisky

57.7% ABV / RRP £65.00

Nose: A sassy and sumptuous selection of spiced baked apples, ripe bananas, rum steeped sultanas, bourbon-soaked prunes and candied mixed peel. Followed by notes of lemon drizzle loaf, ginger cake, vanilla fudge, sugared almonds, spiced honey and muscovado sugar. The nasal niceties continue with balancing notes of verbena leaves, cloves, sweet musk, charred oak, a pinch of cayenne pepper and a tease of something tannic.

Palate: Rum steeped sultanas and honey and lemon Lockets lozenges are in full effect on the flavour front, along with bourbon-soaked prunes, grilled pineapple rings, desiccated coconut, aniseed twists, toffee bon bons, foam bananas, sugar almonds and treacle tart. The palatable pleasures then conclude with more of that ginger cake, candied mixed peel, cayenne pepper, cloves, charred oak and the addition black English breakfast tea.

Finish: A full-on and fabulous, sweet, spiced and sumptuous finish, that just keeps on giving! 

Summary: There’s nothing we like more than a sip that combines our two favourite spirit worlds of whisky and rum. This is a real stunner of a Speyside sensory story, offering everything and more that you would expect for its 12 years of age; a real testament to the cask management and to the art and quality of the blending. The real bonus of this release is its finishing in Foursquare rum casks from Barbados - which influences are abundant. Resulting in a whisky that has a vibrant, rounded, tropical Caribbean kiss!

Torabhaig Tweet Tasting

As much as we love teaming up with our friends from long established distilleries and brands for our industry leading Tweet Tastings, it’s always a genuine thrill to help spread the word of those newer dramming kids on the block. Talking of which, we’re thrilled to announce that on November 15th, we’ll be teaming up with the Isle of Skye based Torabhaig Distillery, to pour and explore our way through some of their sensory stories.

The Torabhaig Distillery, which is owned by Mossburn Distillers, is the second ever licenced single malt Scotch whisky distillery on the Isle of Skye. It started production in January 2017, with a local team of nine distillers, many new to the industry. The distillery is said to be a true product of its surroundings and heritage, shaped by the wild landscape and the climate of Isle of Skye.
