Cotswolds Odyssey Barley English Single Malt Whisky 4 Year Old · 2015 Vintage

Colour

Golden-amber with sunlit honey highlights and coppery edges.

Nose

Creamy vanilla and toasted oak open the nose, followed by honeyed malt and bright orchard fruit. Subtle spices—cinnamon and clove—linger with citrus zest and a faint almond nuance, a testament to generous first-fill oak.

Palate

Silky and substantial on the palate, this Odyssey barley carries a creamy, cereal sweetness with bright citrus zest and ripe orchard fruit. First-fill oak brings vanilla, honey and toasted spice—cinnamon and clove—into a waxy malty backbone. The finish is warm and persistent, with peppery bite, dried fruit, and lingering oak tannins.

Finish

A long, warming finish with creamy vanilla and toasted oak, unfolding into gentle spice and citrus zest. The barley sweetness lingers, leaving a silky, nutty aftertaste with a light tannic lift.
