Raasay - While We Wait
Single Grain Scotch Whisky (first release. finished in Tuscan Red Wine Casks)
The nose reveals notes of crushed cherry, red plum, red earth and slight hints of oak associated with hints of pepper, raspberry, slight touches of peat as well as a discreet hint of spice (Sichuan pepper ...), smoke and an imperceptible hint of flowers. The mouth is aromatic, fine, fluid, gourmand, well balanced, slightly fleshy and offers a fine minerality, finesse, freshness and a slight fat. On the palate this Whiskey expresses notes of red fruits (raspberry, cherry) and slight notes of compoted peach, cassis associated with slight hints of vanilla/oak as well as touches of peat and a discreet hint of gray pepper / spices.
