Background: Eades is an IB based in Virginia. This one is Highland, 15% 13 year Clynelish aged in Port casks and 85% 9 year old Ben Nevis aged in Port casks.
ABV: 46%
Nose: Sweet berries, Gingerbread, baking spices, floral, heavy syrupy molasses, dark chocolate.
Palate: Medium mouthfeel, waxy? Heat, berries, grapes, baking spices, Sulphur, honey, oak, slight cinnamon note. Some floralness mixed in there.
Finish: Medium length, baking spices, bright fruits, Sulphur, nutmeg.
This is a tasty drink, good flavors with the fruity notes and baking spices that I feel is balanced out by the funk provided from the Sulphur. Enjoyable and at the right price I wouldn’t mind having a bottle.
