Teaninich 2010- Margaux finish

Tasting Notes

The Margaux cask is immediately apparent, as the nose greets you with stewed bramble fruits, a swirl of vanilla ice cream drizzled with raspberry coulis, and a dusting of milk chocolate shavings. Beneath, a delicate thread of caramelised sugar and polished oak adds depth. On tasting, this dram is impressively balanced, bringing forward lush red berries complemented by a smooth, creamy sweetness. A splash of water brightens it up, revealing fresh notes of crisp apples and pears. The finish is long and pleasing, as the red fruit notes gradually ease away, leaving a gentle hint of chocolate and a lightly tannic warmth.

Distillery Information

Located in the northeast Highlands, Teaninich was founded in 1817. The whisky produced here is primarily destined for use in some of Scotland’s most popular blends. Teaninich is notable for being one of the few distilleries to use a mash filter instead of a traditional mash tun, a method more commonly associated with brewing.
