Description

North Highland Blended Malt Scotch Whisky
8 Years Old
44.9% ABV
Artwork by: KMG

Nose: Peaches and cream and some coastal wet rocks. Some kiwi and white pepper. “Halfway between petrol and marzipan” says Josh(??). Certainly some Riesling coming through. Putty.

Palate: Very gentle texture on the palate, menacingly soft. A real thirst-quencher. Mandarin-esque citrusy note with soft jelly baby pillows of icing sugar and gelatine. Lots of minerality coming through.

Finish: Honeydew melon, waxy peaches, candle wax and slate.

This year’s batch follows the same basic tenets of last year’s previous two releases with some slight tweaks;

1. Dilution, dilution, diluuution. We diluted this over the course of 47 days. From 56.8% down to 44.9%. That’s a reduction of 0.25% per day. Dilution takes place almost entirely within cask. It takes a few years to make a decent blend, why rush it in the final process?

2. Surreptitious addition of 3% Heavily Peated D**more.

Non-chill filtered and natural colour. This spirit may haze at low temperatures and under dilution.
