The Tasting Notes

Nose

On first nosing, the aroma is reminiscent of an orchard of oranges, peaches and apricots. On Further nosing, chocolate and hints of tea tree oil, eucalyptus oil and simmering spices in the background.

Palate

Sensationally smooth and syrupy on the palate, the initial sip is sweet and full with a dessert-like mixture of honey, pineapple chunks and lashings of condensed milk topped with fresh cream. Later, layers of the subtle fruits evolve on the palate.

Finish

The finish is an intriguing mixture of simmering spices, chocolate powder and cream.

Details

Back in the far off days of 1980 an experiment took place when small batches of unpeated and lightly peated malt were produced. Limited quantities of a very special whisky, christined Kildalton, followed.

By removing the peat, the fruity flavours of the purifier on the still are brought to the fore along with the waxiness of the wooden washbacks and more of the grainy flavours of the barley itself.

This release was bottled in 2004.
