Pig's Nose Blended Scotch Whisky 70 cl

Product Information

I'd drunk all the whiskies that I'd had before, then I started in on the entry level single malts that I'd never tried before. Pig’s Nose Whiskey is a delightful spirit made in Scotland that combines the strength of Scotch whisky and the smoothness of Irish whiskey together to create a unique blend. The distillation process used to make this whiskey is quite complex and requires several steps, ranging from milling and mashing the grain all the way through to bottling. To understand exactly how Pig’s Nose Whiskey comes to fruition, let us take an in-depth look at the entire distillation process. The first step in the distillation process for making Pig’s Nose Whiskey is milling, which is when malted barley grains are passed between steel rollers so they can be crushed into small bits and flakes. This preparation method helps release essential enzymes from within the grain, allowing them to interact with malts during conversion. Now I'd tried it's big brother, Sheep Dip Old Hebridean 1990 Vintage, a smokey giant vatted whisky involving malts from Ardbeg, Dalmore and Fettercairn.

Sweet, very very sweet. There is a hint of peat to it, quite a bit of honey, citrus, specifically pineapples, some other fruits in there, hints of sour apple, sultanas, peaches, caramel, underneath it all a hint of pepper. I'd tried Johnnie Walker Gold Label 18 yr old the other day, but now it was time to move into the farmyard.Without prejudice to the section Liability below, the Service may be temporarily unavailable during maintenance, updates, etc. We shall make reasonable efforts to inform you of any unavailability due to maintenance or updates. Something about the Scottish sense of humor just can’t help itself, I guess. Pig’s Nose. Sheep Dip. Monkey Shoulder. Pig’s Nose is a blended scotch from Ian McCloud, makers of Smokehead, Sheep Dip, Isle of Skye, owners of the Glengoyne and Tamdhu distilleries, and the name behind, well, a bunch of other brands. Short spicy dry finish with the caramel and honey coming through clean as day. The peat reappears for a second and then disappears again. One way to better understand Pig Noses Scotch’s flavor profile is to try each step in its production process separately – starting with its foundation grain (malted barley), followed by aging in ex-bourbon barrels and finishing off with blending it together with peated malt. As you sample each part of this whisky’s complex creation journey, you’ll find yourself uncovering deeper layers and nuances to its taste profile – from woody undertones all the way through to deliciously lingering smoky flavors on your palette An understanding of these different ingredients will further help you appreciate how they come together to form one harmonious final product: truly unique Pigs Nose Scotch! A Look at Notable Brands that Create and Distribute Pigs Nose Whisky Not much of a finish to speak of. But there is nothing unpleasant in the aftertaste, so it has that going for it.

So many of this whiskey’s outward characteristics emphasize its deceptive modesty. It’s a five year old, and the bottle sports a retro 1970s label and an ordinary metal screw-top. Inside, however, it is 40% malt whiskey, an unusually high proportion for a blended scotch, but a high malt proportion is a hallmark of most of the artisanal blends I’m acquainted with. The malts come from the Lowlands, Speyside and Islay, with the grain side coming from Invergordon. The Scotch is bottled at 40% abv. These are easy going and bright, with lots of character to them. the malt is full of cereal and nutty notes, making it deep and complex.In the glass, the whiskey has a clear, gold coloring. The nose has a rich, oily texture, and the main scent reminded me of nothing so much as warm butterscotch. Add in a little wood and a little pine, and have a deep smell with a nice, modest character. The palate delivers more of that rich, creamy butterscotch, with the attendant toasty, dry wood from the nose. The flavor also has a hint of ash, and a pinch of pepper. The finish is a moderate one, delivering some warmth and some peppery afterglow.
