Desperados 24x33cl

Topographically speaking, the Distillery is sheltered from the harshest excesses of the mighty Atlantic by this rounded peninsula in the south of Islay. Within the vat we gather together whiskies from several cask types - including; sweet Pedro Ximenez; spicy Virgin charred oak; and intense ex-bourbon casks, amongst others - where they familiarise themselves with each other. [COUNTRY OF ORIGIN] - Scotland. [AROMA] - Rounded and smoky - like burning Applewood - with creamy toffee, aniseed, treacle and dates. A curious suggestion of juicy fruits, such as peach and banana. An Oa gives a final subtle reminder of the sea with briny notes and seaweed but always accompanied with creaminess. [PALATE] - A smooth, creamy texture leads into a huge syrupy sweetness, flavours of milk chocolate, treacle toffee, aniseed, orange and smoky tea leaves. Gentle, sweet spices (nutmeg & cinnamon), some cigar smoke, and a very unusual flavour of grilled artichokes. [FINISH] - Lingering, seductive, gentle yet intense, with flavours of aniseed, hickory and distant subtle smoke. [BOTTLE SIZE] - 1L. [ABV] - 46.6%.
