The Bastard No.2 Tasting Notes
Prepare your taste buds for a wild ride on the rollercoaster of flavour! This whisky is as cheeky as its name suggests, with rebellious flavours of lotus root, Korean red pepper and chunky pepper. Madeira casks are not among the most common of casks: expect interesting stuff!
Grassy fields and cooked vegetables mingle with the bold presence of Madeira wine. Notes of Maggi plant and hazelnut. Caramel. Tangerine. Kumquats? Kumquats! Stewer fruits and toffee. Lingering finish, it just keeps going!
This Bastard has Madeira written all over it (amazing!). What an interesting dram and journey - the journey of a Bastard.
