Tasting Notes – Langatun Old Crow Swiss Single Malt Whisky (46%)
Langatun Old Crow Swiss Single Malt Whisky
Langatun’s first peaty whisky which has been matured in former red wine casks and presented in their decanter style bottle with wooden gift box.

Nose: Plump raisins, red wine and sherry with vanilla caramel. In addition, there’s chocolate, green apples, shades of chargrill and some damp wood.
Palate: Creamy mouthfeel, cane sweetness, port and sherry with masses of creamy chocolate – tasty! Finish: Buttery popcorn new-make type palate. Peppery spice and smokey, salty peat char ending in a tobacco finish. Overall: A great dram with flavours a-plenty! |
Langatun is available to buy from these Merchants:-
Tasting Notes – Angels’ Nectar Single Malt Scotch Whisky ‘Islay Rioja Cask Edition’ (46%)
Angels’ Nectar Single Malt Scotch Whisky ‘Islay Rioja Cask Edition’
Inspired by the Angels’ share – the traditional name given to the whisky lost to evaporation during maturation, Angels’ Nectar is a collection of Blended Malt and Single Malt Scotch Whiskies, allowing you to explore contrasting styles of Scotch Whisky.
All are bottled at natural colour and are non-chill filtered, just the way the Angels enjoy their dram.
‘Islay Rioja Cask Edition’ is a single malt scotch whisky matured for seven years in former Rioja red wine casks.

Nose: Smoke, burnt wood and peat.
Palate: Sweet, liquid smoke – very savoury. Finish: Punchy chilli, charred, strongly antiseptic palate with dry tobacco to end with. Overall: Really enjoyable peat and savoury tastes – before I knew what was happening I was heading for the snacks cupboard after this! |
