CÀRN MÒR MORTLACH 16 YEAR OLD 59.95 46
SELECTED BY EWAN
A delicious dual-cask bottling of sherry-finished Mortlach from the clever folk at Morrison & Mackay.
NOSE: Toasted hazelnuts and cashews, with soft vanilla and nutmeg notes. A spot of water brings more chocolate and toffee.
PALATE: Sweet vanilla, milk chocolate and gentle spices. Water adds to the sweetness and brings out flavours of salted caramel.
FINISH: Gentle and mouth-coating, with sweet vanilla and spice. Like warm banana bread.
EDRADOUR BALLECHIN 10 YEAR OLD 42.95
46
SELECTED BY EWAN A relatively new addition to the Edradour core range. A lovely,
heavily peated Highlander from Robertson’s local distillery.
NOSE: Rich, smoky and meaty with notes of iodine, damp woodland, burnt sugar and a touch of white chocolate.
PALATE: Sweet, smooth, smoky and slightly salted. Oily mouthfeel, with crispy bacon and maple syrup. Like a pedigree Islay without the sea influence.
FINISH: Short and sweet – literally. A creamy, smoky note gently lingers. This finish is lengthened and sweetened with water.
ROBERTSONS TOMATIN CASK STRENGTH 44.95
57.2 SELECTED BY EWAN
A ‘masterful’ single cask bottling of Tomatin, or that’s how Ewan’s colleague, sales manager Iain Forteath, describes it – a cask so good he bought the whole thing. Only 282 bottles have been produced.
NOSE: Instantly sweet, with vanilla and peach fruit and a touch of pear drops.
PALATE: Creamy and sweet, with hazelnuts and white chocolate. The cask-strength alcohol is a tad prickly but this smooths with a few drops of water.
FINISH: Creamy and soft with a gentle moreish quality and a growing dried papaya note.
