Sutherland 2000

Tasting Notes

The nose opens with floral honey, toasted almonds, and a bright hint of lemon zest. Three years in a quarter cask have amplified this enigmatic dram’s spicy profile, as notes of cinnamon and vanilla meld with a base of sweet malt. The palate is well balanced, with the tart sweetness of sour apple sweets meeting warm oak spice, against a backdrop of creamy vanilla and gentle tannins. The finish echoes those earlier notes of honeyed almonds and bright citrus zest, ending with a final whisper of spice.

Distillery Information

Occasionally, we come across a whisky we'd love to wax lyrical about, but unfortunately can't disclose its origin. While we might not be able to let the proverbial cat out of the bag, we just couldn't pass up the opportunity to bottle it.
