2.76 Cola and shea butter

Cask No. 2.76

‘The King o’malts’ according to RLS. This example is very spicy and prickly to start with, but opens up beautifully in time. The first aroma reminded us of Coke (when the ice has melted) and light caramel, then a heavy verbena-like perfume (Chanel No.5, ambergris) which gradually becomes more musky and oily. With water these aromas become dominated by whin bushes and shea butter (a scent between coconut and almonds, apparently), with a light, dusty woodiness. Banoffee pie with nutmeg and allspice in the development. The taste is “sweet and rural” (unreduced) and “sweet and autumnal” diluted. Complex.

Drinking tip: In the garden with the leaves falling

Date Distilled: May 1993 Colour: Honey gold Age: 16 years Cask Type: Refill ex-bourbon hogshead

You didn't seem very clear on the aroma of shea butter, so I've gone to Ghana, nay,Tamele market, found the women who make it and sell it. I've bought some and will bring it back for your edification. Is that dedicated or what?
