Edencroft – New 30YO Caperdonich & Paul John Indian Malts!

Edencroft - New 30YO Caperdonich & Paul John Indian Malts!

Paul John - Brilliance Single Malt

Paul John – Brilliance Single Malt
Country: Scotland   Region: IndiaGoa
Age:    Strength: 46%
Summary: A non-peated Indian Single Malt Whisky.
Nose: a complex amalgam of nougat, spotted dog pudding (sans sultanas!) and orange blossom honey with the vanilla spinning tangled webs just beneath. Honey is captured as the bourbon element expands; a delicate gristiness ushers in a freshness to the custard tart;
Taste: the mouth feel exudes star quality with the barley generating all kinds of juicy riches with the light Demerara sugars forming an elegant accompaniment. A coppery spine is soon carrying the barley in varied forms while a gorgeous cocoa sub strata heralds in the spices which buzz the taste buds at will;
Finish: beautifully relaxed: a light tingle from the spices pulses contentedly, the vanillas gather in deeper intensity yet the barley and copper stretches to the end;
Balance: yet another astonishing malt from India.

Paul John - Edition Single Malt

Paul John – Edition Single Malt
Country: Scotland   Region: IndiaGoa
Age:    Strength: 46%
Summary: Indian Single Malt whisky, with a hint of peat.
Nose: chocolate mint evolves from the delicate peats which sit beautifully with the lesser oaky theme; a comfortable, yet always complex, nose with the smoke soft and relaxed and refusing to bully the juicier barley;
Taste: grassy barley shows first, but then slowly gives way as those most gentle peat notes dissolve onto the palate and begins to build momentum and intensity. Again there is a chocolate mint/mocha theme, as well as a sublime mollassed note which injects all the sweetness required;
Finish: long, helped by to-die-for oils, some hints of spice and now some tannins, plus the vanilla. But all is beautifully weighted, patient and poised; Oh, and did I mention the chocolate mint…?
Balance: a new Indian classic: a sublime malt from the subcontinent. To be more precise: a world classic! Think of Ardmore at its most alluring: one of Scotland’s finest and most complex single malts, yet somehow possessing a saltiness and depth more befitting Islay. Then stir in a small degree of Ulmo honey and bourbon-style hickory and liquorice. Plus subtle chocolate mint. And there you have it…the smoke drifting around stirring up spicy tales of the east. A world class whisky to be talked about with reverence without doubt.

Caperdonich - 30 Year Old Directors Cut (douglas Laing)

Caperdonich – 30 Year Old Directors Cut (douglas Laing)
Country: Scotland   Region: Speyside
Age: 30 Year Old   Strength: 50.9%
Summary: Nose: Fresh & spicy – carrying a hard boiled sweets style with macerated oranges, bees wax and polished wood.
Palate: Mouth coating – richly spiced character developing to a gentle oak quality with a touch of dry smoke.
Finish: Long, still spicy – now running drier – still oaky with dried orange pith and dark chocolate.
