Bottle | Brilliance @MaltMusing's Review Here |
|
---|---|---|
Characteristics | 46% ABV NAS NCF/NC |
|
Maturation | ex-bourbon | |
UK Price | £40 | |
Tasting notes |
Nose: The Demerara sugars give off a whiff of sweet
fragrances, with a hint of cinnamon, dash of honey and faint
spices. Palate: Sweet and spice and all things nice, make this Single Malt. The honey-like smoothness is offset by the crunchy-bar-like crispness. Somewhere, there is also a tinge of cocoa. Finish: Brilliance has a smooth and beautifully relaxed finish, with a hint of mild spices and deep intense vanilla. |

Characteristics | 46% ABV NAS NCF/NC Lightly Peated |

Maturation | ex-bourbon | |
UK Price | £40 | |
Tasting notes |
Nose: Honey and cocoa are laced with a hint of smokiness and a
shot of espresso. A deeper whiff reveals fruity fragrances. Palate: The grassy flavours of barley show up first, but gently make way for subtle peat notes. They slowly dissolve and pave the way for a rush of mint and mocha. Finish: The finish is long and drawn out. You can sense a hint of spice and chocolate mint as it ends on gentle peat notes. |
