Tasting Notes – Hyde No.12 Pot Still Cask: Nose: Fresh apple and pear mingle with subtle candy-store sweetness, hints of marjoram and tarragon, and a whisper of dried fruit. Palate: Medium-bodied and creamy, delivering runny honey, barley sugar, a warming swirl of ginger, cinnamon and nutmeg, and rounded vanilla. Finish: Medium-long, with lingering honey-oak warmth, milk-chocolate nuances and a soft marzipan echo. Serving Tips Serve neat in a Glencairn or copita to capture the aromas. Add a single drop of spring water to open up the spice. For a modern twist, try it in a “Pot Still Old Fashioned” with demerara syrup and aromatic bitters. Pair with dark chocolate, aged cheddar or spiced nuts for true tasting pleasure.
