    Single Cask Club - Tasting Notes

    July 2022

    How good was that Glengoyne?!?! I think we should have a few more of them involved. That is the style that’s being well received so we’ll continue with numbers like that. As promised last month this month we have the new Ardent Spirits bottling.
    Dram 1 - Inchgower 2016 - 1st Fill Bourbon

    From Inchgower distillery near Buckie, this lovely coastal distillery produces a very distinctive spicy new make spirit with a lovely waxy back bone to it. This dram distilled in 2016 and bottled in 2022 after maturation in a lovely active first fill Bourbon barrel being bottled at the ripe age of 5 years. An exciting dram as the young age is a bit deceptive! The great barrel gives a a sweet nose of home baking and digestive biscuits. The mouth feel is fantastic here! It’s big and thick and lingers with lovely heather honey notes.

    Dram 2 -Royal Brackla 7 Year old Single Malt Cask Strength - Ardent Spirits

    A second ever from Ardent Spirits our pals in Banchory and goodness me do we have a naughty little number here. From Royal Brackla Distillery just outside Cawdor it has a steep lyn arm and lots of copper contact producing a great orchard fruit style new make with great acidity to balance a favored maturation in sherry. Distilled in June 2015 and bottled in June 2022 at 7 years old after a few years in a very good Oloroso Sherry cask. Here at cask strength of 61.9% its a right punchy number but it holds itself together very well. 

    It's got great candied fig and dates on the nose, the palate is so full and boisterous yet graceful with the delivery of flavor. The finish is really long and lingers for a good while, continuing to deliver this wonderful brown sugar style finish. This is a total banger.

    Tasting notes
    Nose: Full of dark then red fruit, from its Sherry cask history, plus a subtle array of burnt spices and malt.

    Palate: Chewy and intense, with fruit-flavoured toffee, wonderful spices, burnt toast and a hint of mint.

    Finish: Big on dried citrus; running to gristy sugar-inclined malt, graduating to late dry mixed spices.
