From my understanding, I think Diageo has these Flora and Fauna series for their ‘ unusual and off-the-beaten track malts’. (If I’m wrong, our resident auditor @Generously_Paul will set me correct). This one is courtesy of @Scott_E as part of our final round in our little tour. Decent nose....sherry influence of dried fruit hits you right away. Palette is where it shines though...a tinge of earthy sooty smoke and dried fruit. Good pour. Would I buy a bottle? Nah. Would I buy at the bar? If I’m curious...but, I’m not curious anymore. So...no. It does though make me curious of other offerings from this distillery, especially a bit older and mainstream. It has good DNA, and I’m sure some more time in quality casks would help. Thanks Scott!

@Generously_Paul. I stand corrected. I’m going to make a smooth transition to senility apparently
You are right, and you are wrong. The Flora and Fauna series highlights the lesser known Diageo distilleries, but it was I that provided this sample, not Scott 🙂
