The Last Trace
The Last Trace
The final swan song of casks ravaged by the Angel’s Share. The resulting whisky offers a remarkable depth, balancing the sweet and savoury masterfully.
"One of the most extraordinary whiskies I have ever tasted."
Charles MacLean
The Finer Details
With loss, there can also be gains and such is the case with this remarkable malt whisky. Never before have we bottled a whisky that has lost so much of itself through its time in cask. Over fifty years of maturation in American oak, the casks blended to create this release have lost the majority of their contents to the angels, leaving a remarkable spirit in their wake. The Last Trace delivers wonderful contrasts of flavour that move between sweet coconut and earthier, damp notes. A complex, richly flavoursome, shapeshifting release delivering a nuanced character quite unlike anything we have seen before.
Nose
The nose opens with the enticing invitation of toasted coconut, evolving to a buttery, yet mentholic quality. From there, the aromas develop, offering plains of leather and parchment paper - a nod to time spent slumbering in cask.
Palate
The rancio qualities continue on the palate, offering an antique character, before a creamy crescendo, offered hand in hand with a lasting tart tang.
