Evocative seaside aromas of rock pools, oysters and crab meat mingled with lilac, lavender and roses before icing sugar dusted applewood-smoked sponge cake. On the palate, honey and toasted marshmallows joined heather, Turkish delight and apples poached in port while mussels and shallots arrived in a cream sauce. The fragrance remained with water, now embracing the fruitiness of grilled pineapple, tangerine and kumquat on a sandy beach with pickled herring and driftwood. A delightful balance combined candy floss, coconut and vanilla with barnacles, charred oak and honey-smoked salmon. At seven years of age, we combined selected casks from the same distillery. We then returned the single malt into a variety of different casks to develop further. This is one of those casks.
