Tasting Notes
This specific whisky’s mash bill is led by Danish rye (whose spiciness is more gentle than the sometimes harsh, dry spice of American rye, and also carries the aroma of freshly baked rye bread). That’s at 60%, then there’s 30% spring barley (which adds stone fruit, malt and citrus notes ) and 10% spelt. The last ingredient produces sweet and nutty notes that really complement the spiciness of rye.
Nose
I really enjoy the warm spices and pepper on the nose, with sweet honey and banana notes.
Palate
On the palate, I pick up unusual highlights above the core of rye bread – eucalyptus, burnt orange, rosemary and thyme (it’s almost a song!)
Finish
Then it draws to a close with aniseed and ginger.

THE SAME LAND, EIGHT GENERATIONS
