Cotswold Distillery Single Malt Whisky Tasting Notes:

Appearance: Rich amber with golden hues, showcasing the influence of oak casks in maturation.

Nose:

1. Fruity Elegance: Notes of ripe orchard fruits such as apples and pears, providing a sweet and inviting aroma.

2. Honeyed Warmth: A subtle hint of honey and malt, contributing to a comforting sweetness.

3. Floral Undertones: Delicate floral undertones, with a touch of heather and blossom, adding a layer of complexity.

Palate:

1. Velvety Smoothness: Silky on the palate with a luxurious mouthfeel, indicating a well-crafted and matured spirit.

2. Fruit Explosion: Bursting with flavors of orchard fruits, complemented by a gentle spiciness, creating a harmonious balance.

3. Toasty Oak: Oak influences emerge, bringing warm, toasty notes and a hint of vanilla, a testament to the aging process.

Finish:

1. Long and Lingering: A satisfying, lingering finish that evolves on the palate, leaving a lasting impression.

2. Subtle Spice: A subtle, warming spice that adds depth to the overall experience without overpowering the delicate flavors.

3. Hint of Dark Chocolate: A nuanced hint of dark chocolate appears towards the end, providing a delightful conclusion to the tasting journey.

The glass shown was also a present, and I love these little glasses, brings out the flavour in the whisky, also great for small beers:

Which I think shows off the logo really well

Within the same present I also got these great little Granite Cubes, that you place in the freezer and use as Ice Cubes, except you dont dilute your whisky.
