Ransom Whiskey (750ml)

Aged for a minimum of two years and produced from a mash of wheat, rye and barley.

Tasting note: Burnished deep brass appearance. Nosing finds curious suggestions of glace cherries, dark chocolate and old liquorice strap. Further time in the glass adds marzipan and attractive ovaltine-like notes. Linear and tannic in the mouth showing some slightly green / vegetal characteristics. Finish finds glace cherry plus hints of marzipan. Cereal? Perhaps a touch of caraway as the rye asserts itself? Meek sugars break through late in the aftertaste but overall this seems to be swamped by oak. Pity, given that the nose promised something quite unusual. 46.7% Alc./Vol.
