PANEL PIGGIES' PARADISE
Cask No. 138.23
We found this one presented on the lighter side, with a lovely, low-level hum of vanilla, spiced marmalade and butterscotch. With a little time we also noted cream soda, fabric softener and foam strawberry candies. Reduction brought out a sprightly lemon zest note, with menthol tobacco, pinecones and chamois leather adding a little more weight.
The mouth was quite wood-forward with lots of nice cupboard spices, freshly sawn oak, toasted coconut and some nicely exotic suggestions of mango and grapefruit. Water enhanced these fruitier notes and maintained the mango and pineapple flavours, with spiced vanilla, sponge cake, wood resins and camphor all in the background.
