Park Life 22 Year Old Tasting Notes
Nose: Fragrant bay leaf and fresh lemon zest intertwine with oak and a grounding earthiness.
Palate: Golden syrup, buttery popcorn and warm nutmeg sprawl over the palate followed closely by soft florals, heather, and a touch of spice
Finish: A gentle wisp of smoke lingers, with smooth caramel sweetness and a salty swish as the theatrical finale to show stopping dram.
About This Uncharted Whisky release
Here is an insight into the life of an indy bottler… Sometimes fantastic liquids land on the table of small independents like Uncharted Whisky. It’s a challenge to navigate - the liquids often come with a caveat such as “this was distilled at this particular fantastic distillery but you can’t use the name on the bottles”. It’s difficult because the liquid is great, the price is great, but the customer wants transparency on what they are drinking - which is fair enough.
So then indies like Jack and Dana have to put on their thinking caps and work out the best way to keep everyone happy. So here is Park Life, a short series of bottlings from a particularly delicious distiller’s repertoire in the Highland region of Scotland (if you didn’t know, all the islands of Scotland are ‘Highland’ region except Islay). This isn’t from Islay. Or Mull. Or Skye. Or Jura. Or Arran.
This 20-year-old single malt has spent its entire maturation in an ex-bourbon cask, delivering a bright, elegant whisky that puts the distillery’s signature character front and centre. Sweet vanilla, subtle citrus, and soft heather combine with just the lightest wisp of smoke - a dram of beautiful balance and depth.
Jack and Dana bottled this whisky as nature intended - un-chill filtered, natural colour, and without unnecessary intervention. As with all limited runs, this won’t last long… so enjoy this day in the park while it lasts.
As you may notice, Uncharted have created a sister bottling to this at 22 years old from ex-sherry wood; you can find Park Life 22 Year Old here.
