The latest series from Liquid Treasures has a Snakes theme. Among their bottlings we find this Blended Malt 2001. One of these malt bases that include Glenrothes, Tamdhu and a few others, perhaps?
Blended Malt 17 yo 2001
(46,3%, Liquid Treasures ‘Snakes’ 2018, sherry butt, 396 btl.)
Blended Malt 17 yo 2001Nose: butterscotch and raisins, cinnamon cake, a little praline. Also oranges and a little tobacco. Brioche, hints of pepper and just a hint of roasted chestnut. Very light balsamic touches. Nice sherry style.
Mouth: solid whisky, definitely. Oranges and raisins again, with a light marzipan sweetness, figs and roasted nuts. Cinnamon, cocoa powder. Light herbal notes towards the end.
Finish: long, on tea, ginger, chocolate and oak.
All fine, an affordable and very flavoursome dram that is perfect to pour with friends. Around € 80, available from eSpirits or partners.
Score: 86/100
