From one of the highest distilleries in Scotland, this malt is so named due to the whisky used being distilled in Scotland’s cold winter months – the argument being that the colder worm tubs condense the vapour quicker so reducing copper contact with the vapour, producing a more sulphury spirit.

However, this wintery whisky is not designed to warm the cockles. To the contrary, controversially its makers recommend storing in the freezer and serving ice-cold, saying “Freezing the liquid transforms the texture of the liquid to create a syrupy mouthfeel.”

Avaliação e degustação

Experimentado em 17/08/2015

Aparência:

Clear, deep golden amber.

Aroma:

Honey drizzled toasty malt with wax jacket, shortcrust pastry, green apple, dried apricot, mandarin orange zest and pencil shavings. More dried apricot and orange zest with water.

Sabor:

Rich and honeyed with dried apricot, green apple, orange zest, candied lime, candle wax and moist ginger bread. Orange zest is amplified with water.

Aftertaste:

Malty raisin and sultana rich fruit cake with bitter orange zest, dark chocolate, nutmeg spice and sandalwood.

No geral:

Honeyed and citrusy with fruit cake, rounding waxiness and mild spice. I enjoyed my tasting sample then realised I should have tried some frozen as recommended by its makers. Seems a shame though.
