Cask No. G9.7

The nose was surprisingly fresh and vibrant, with notes of green apples, ripe plums, vanilla slices and lemon drizzle cake, as well as pink grapefruit juice and salted caramel. A lemon zing on the palate was followed by freshly cut wood and grass before sweeter flavours of lemon buttercream and a mojito appeared. Following reduction we discovered typical rum characters, with the scent of sweet sugar cane juice, banana split, cream buns (a Scottish favourite) and a creamy apricot yoghurt. To taste, we found the sweetness of a lemon meringue, while in the finish came a tingling sensation of cinnamon and white pepper.
