Willowbank was the most southerly distillery in the world, producing highly regarded Milford and Lammerlaw Single Malt Whisky. The distillery produced both malt and grain producing such popular whiskies as Wilsons and 45 South. The distillery closed in 1997, and stocks must be surely getting scarcer these days.
|TASTING NOTES|
• Nose
Deliciously fruity, with blackberries and blackcurrant. There is leather and dark chocolate too and earthy woodiness rancio too.
• Palate
Chocolate and cherry in a Black Forest Gateau. The tannins come through towards the finish, leaving the mouth very dry.

La Fée Blanche Absinthe Supérieure is an exceptional example of classic white absinthe, distilled in France with 100% natural ingredients.
This refined spirit is a tribute to the traditional methods used before the ban of 1915.
This absinthe stands out for its crystalline purity, delicate aromatic profile, and meticulous composition based on three types of wormwood: Grande Absinthe (Artemisia absinthium), Petite Absinthe (Artemisia pontica), and Génépi (Genepi Artemisia).
It appeals both to absinthe enthusiasts and mixologists seeking complexity and finesse in their creations.
