Nº1
This secret Welsh distillery uses a revolutionary method to hand make their whiskies and a variety of woods to age them in. It starts off in a Buffalo Trace Bourbon cask, then is finished in a Madeira barriques cask. Setting it apart from the soulless mass produced liquids.
Appearance: Very light pale straw color, nice edge line on the glass when you swirl it, smooth layer of whisky on swirling with long legs and some droplets.
First Impression: Light-to-medium peat smoke, honey, leather, sherry malt/toffee, pepper, and oak.
Taste: Nice oily feel to the malt. Mellow-weight mouth feel and very easy to drink. Nice layers of Madeira and bourbon influence- a touch of sweetness, then malt, leather and fruit. Nice malty body. Finish is buttery nuts, oak, fruits,vanilla, spice, a little pepper.
Drinks: Personally, we like it straight or with a little water to open it up. Use a decent spirits glass to fully appreciate it but you won´t regret a taste from the bottle when on the run. Please only use in a cocktail that is subtle, and well proportioned! You wouldn't want to lose the layers of taste this whisky has.
Cigars: Yes, but something light. All other substances are up to you.
