Chorlton Nc`Nean 7 Years Old

The nose has cherry drops, membrillo, macadamia nuts, green melon, buttercream and honey – it has a fascinatingly uncommon sort of fruitiness that keeps opening up in the glass.

The palate is full-bodied, with golden apples, quinces, yellow sultanas, coconut cream, honey, and a pinch each of salt and white pepper. In the background there’s a nicely mineralic Highlands-y feel, and then Juicy Fruit gum and black tea in the finish.

This first-fill barrel produced 243 bottles at a cask strength of 57.9%.
