Exclusive Summerton Virtual Whisky Festival sample. A total of 8 barrels will be released following the festival a 1,948 bottle run.
This is a whisky that’s far removed from a typical Scotch whisky. The influence of the ex-bourbon cask is extremely prevalent.
The nose is bready and woody. Upfront it’s very full bodied for such a young whisky, extremely fruity and with sweet vanilla. There’s a good amount of pepper on the finish, but it mostly leaves you with a sweet and honeyed aftertaste.
It’s a nice dram and it bodes well for some future more aged releases.
