Luck is an interesting commodity, sometimes it feels in abundance and other times you can’t catch even a sniff of it. So, when it goes your way, it is extra special. The next three whiskies were from a Instagram competition run by The Whisky Show.
Aroma: The first notes are full of Stroopwafel: rich, sweet caramel, creamy vanilla and biscuity cinnamon. Then it becomes fruity, full of stewed apple and raisin, like a strudel. It is a real dessert of a whisky.
Taste: The start of this whisky is silky smooth, light and sweet. It is honeyed, full of banana sweetness and is almost creamy – like a condensed milk.
The middle of the dram is full of cinnamon spice. It is warming, sweet and puddingy, like a rum cake or ginger biscuit.
The end is long and spicy. It feels like a chilli heat, but it is sweet like butter toffee and has lots of sherried fruit.
Real Dram Factor: Delicate, sweet and yet full of spice – It is a lovely dram – 8.2
