Description
Nose : Sweet, dusty and granular – find caramel, lemon and floral scented soap, orange zest, dry oats, vinegar, pear salad, vanillas, pine wood, wood working glue and saw dust.
Taste : On the palate the whisky is winy, with a drying yet sweet flavour profile. Find orange peel and blood orange, mixed fresh berries and a gentle flurry of spice. There is also the taste of crushed wedges of lime soaked in cola and dark chocolate towards the finish. A bitter floral hue, somewhat being a trademark of Hellyer’s Road it seems to me, glows softly.
Finish : Flavours of chocolate, dried cranberries, cold drip coffee, wood, and a lingering sweetness in the form of reduced berries.
