We received a 1,000 liter tote of Scottish Island New make. We filled 4 full size barrels and more than a dozen 5 gallon barrels. The 5 gallon barrels got really oaky really fast, so we moved them. This release is the first batch of whiskey that we think is ready.

Tasting Notes:

Nose – deep honey and fruit bowl, papaya, apricot, and toasted vanilla cream

Palate – light tropical lift with dark brown sugar and toasted notes. hint of pipe tobacco. Low oil and light touch finish.
