Hellyers Road Distillery 12 year old French Oak Cask 46.2%
Tasted: Dec 2014
Nose: Youthful, oily and estery (green banana). Lightly straw marc-like notes mingle with some solid, underlying toffee’d oak. With time the herbal notes emerge along with a touch of barley and citrus.
Palate: Young and estery – banana and pineapple chunks along with chunky toffee’d oak and hints of herbs. Piquant alcohol freshens but the toffee becomes sweeter and more dominant.
Finish: Long and toffee’d with the herbal notes and alcohol just about balancing.
Conclusion: A little chunky perhaps and majbe lacking a little elegance and maturity...
