Telling the story of Scotland’s world-famous Hogmanay festivities celebrated annually on 31st December, A Night on Earth in Scotland captures the universal joy of celebrating the change of year. This seasonal release is a collaboration with acclaimed Japanese-French illustrator Erica Dorn, whose artwork has featured in director Wes Anderson’s films. The single malt is presented in unique packaging to provide a special unboxing experience and Dorn’s playful abstract illustrations are inspired by the historic fire rituals dominant in New Year celebrations around the world.
Nose: Light, slightly floral and fragrant. Notes of charred oak and caramel along with rose water and jasmine. Also gentle vanilla pods, some candied orange peels and quinces. Finally a whiff of honey and lemon zest.
Taste: Kudos for the slightly creamy mouthfeel (relative to the low abv). Otherwise nothing too exciting. Arrives on whispers of vanilla, boiled sweets and breakfast cereals. Also cloves, nutmeg and coconut shavings, along with orange pith.
Finish: Short to medium. A touch of ginger, pear jelly and soft tannins.
