Annandale Man O' Sword Founder's Selection - Single STR Cask #358 Whisky 5 Year Old · 2017 Vintage
Out of stock
The Founders Reserve range from the Annandale distillery is focused on the flavour diversity imparted by the cask. This particular dram was matured in Cask 358 - an ex-French Burgundy cask which was shaved, toasted and recharred. This produces a dram with notes of tobacco smoke, smoky bacon and hints of coconut, sweet almond cherry Bakewell, creamy vanilla and fresh peach.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Coppery amber with ruby undertones and a warm sunset glow.
Nose
Tobacco smoke and smoky bacon form a rich core, with coconut and almond lending sweetness. Cherry Bakewell hints, creamy vanilla, and ripe peach brighten the nose, while subtle toasty, cask-driven warmth from the shaved, toasted, recharred Burgundy finish lingers.
Palate
Silky, medium-bodied with tobacco smoke and smoky bacon at the fore, lifted by coconut cream and toasted almond. Cherry Bakewell, creamy vanilla and juicy peach unwind across the palate, leaving a fruit-forward sweetness that coats the tongue, finishing with gentle oak and a warm, lingering smoke.
Finish
Long, tobacco-smoked and smoky-bacon notes linger, fading into creamy vanilla, coconut and ripe peach, with a delicate almond Bakewell sweetness rounding out the finish.
