silky-smooth texture on the palate reminded one Panellist of a honey lavender earl grey latte

Ardbeg wash distilled without the purifier & matured in classic Ardbeg casks

roasted at very low temperatures and then caramelised

And it’s hardly surprising that the folks at Ardnamurchan/Adelphi chose this cask

dried fruits with a luscious chocolate milkshake sweetness

Mackmyra Kaizen 03 Hojicha Tea Cask Swedish Single Malt Whisky 45.9%ABV 30ml Scotland silky-smooth texture on the palateThis is third whisky in a series that seasoned casks with 3 famous Japanese teas. In this edition an Ex bourbon cask was seasoned with Hojicha tea which is a famous roasted green tea from Kyoto Japan which has a sweet nutty flavour. The whisky tastes like sweet roasted chestnuts and the finish is quite spicy like a virgin oak whisky.
