Inchmurrin 12 #3

Inchmurrin 12 - 46%abv

This whisky was distilled using a pot still with rectifying heads. Sounds a bit different, doesn't it, well this should make a fruity light spirit. It was matured in mostly re-charred and re-fill casks to show off the fruityness. It is non-chill filtered. 

The distillery really is a "Jack-of-all-trades" with its ability to make many different styles of whisky using its Malt stills, Pot stills and Coffey stills. It even has its own cooperage. 

Colour

Slightly dark golden

Nose

Very fresh, grassy, apples, pear drops, hay, slightly malty-fruity malt, sweet, a touch of caramel and a huge pile of fruit salads. 

Palate

The caramel comes through a bit more, slightly chili milk chocolate. The sweet fruity malt is in there - the fruit salads, turns a bit and gives some savory herbs, Lovely, smooth and oily. A very well balanced mix of flavours. 

Finish

Some wood spices, the caramel stays with you and those slightly savory notes.

Overall

This is a great whisky at a reasonable price and is incredibly well balanced, it gives a great range of flavours. 

What I will add is, social media gives you the ability to find out a lot about your whisky. This distillery is one of the best e.g. their ambassador and master blender are only a message/tweet away. They are passionate and very knowledgeable about what they do.

Unfortunately its not a open distillery, but there is a few lucky people who have had a look round. Id love to go one day.

Score

Another one id encourage people to try - yes I bought a miniature....cause I saw it in a shop and it was cheap but I think a big bottle will not be far away.

Its time for the please ignore and find out for yourself score -

A out of 9.75

Im of the understanding this is one of the master distillers (The very clever one) favorite drams and I can see why - A great score for a great whisky.
