Cotswolds Nickolls & Perks - Single Ruby Port Cask #1355 Whisky 7 Year Old · 2017 Vintage

Lush in its rolling greenery and arable farmland, the Cotswolds is an iconic piece of England. The Cotswolds Distillery harnesses these strengths, using solely locally grown barley to produce a fruit-forward style of malt and maturing all of their casks onsite. This expression was matured exclusively in a single first-fill ruby Port hogshead for no less than seven years. Bottled at the full cask strength of 59.2% and bottled without chill filtration or added colouring. One of just 282 bottles.

Tasting Notes

On the nose, Cripps Pink apples drizzled with syrup, followed by raspberry tart and Eton Mess adorned with crushed walnut. The palate is vibrant, bringing pomegranate juice and redcurrant with hints of nutmeg and sweet tobacco. Clean and fresh finish, with a lasting tannic grip.
