That Boutique - Y Adnams 8 Y Batch 2 - 50.5%

A welcome return to Suffolk’s brewery/distillery for our second batch of Adnams single malt whisky. This release has spent it’s time maturing a second fill French Oak cask, followed by an Islay Cask finish, so while not a smoky malt in itself, the ex-Islay cask brings a smoky dimension to this English malt. Adnams is a long established brewery with a colourful history of over a century in the making. Their Copper House distillery was opened in 2010 and was the first brewery to be legally distilling spirits in the UK. Their first whisky was bottled in December 2013

Tasting notes

Nose
Almond, hazelnut and cocoa lead before cooked banana and almost an note of mince pies emerge. Oaky cigar box and floral vanilla add beautiful depth.

Taste
A thick and heavy palate carries notes of sweet tobacco, rich molasses and a little smoke against a buttery biscuit base. Full bodied spice fizzes away underneath with a little pineapple juice.

Finish
The molasses continue to simmer away in this supple finish
