A Special Highland Whisky from the Spirit Filled Mythical Beasts Range
The Spirit Filled Mythical Beasts range is known for its exceptional whiskies, and one of its latest releases is a highland whisky that was distilled at the Ardmore distillery and finished in Pedro Jimenez casks.
This 11-year-old whisky has an ABV of 53.5%, and it offers a complex array of flavours.
Let’s take a closer look at the colour and legs of this whisky, as well as the aromas and flavours that it contains.
The Colour and Legs of the Whisky
When examining the colour of the whisky, it is clear that it is a golden colour, and the legs are substantial, resembling the top of a mountain range.
On the nose, the predominant flavours are green apples and freshly cut apples, along with other fruits such as the fruit that is found in granola.
This whisky also has a creamy note, which is reminiscent of butterscotch.
Taste and Mouthfeel
The whisky has a strong kick, but it doesn’t last long.
It leaves a coating on the mouth, and it has a balanced taste with fruit notes of apples and pears.
There is also a spice note of nutmeg, and the finish is long and coats the mouth.
Open Up with Water
When opened up with water, the whisky reveals its sherry notes, as it was finished in Pedro Jimenez casks. It also has notes of caramelized nuts, and the taste is more elegant than the 53.5% ABV would suggest.
Overall Recommendation
All in all, this is a whisky that I would strongly recommend to anyone who enjoys the Spirit Filled Mythical Beasts range. It is a highland whisky that was distilled at the Ardmore distillery and finished in Pedro Jimenez casks, and it has an ABV of 53.5%.
