Collectivum

Collectivum XXVIII Blended Malt Scotch Whisky, 70cl

A natural cask strength blended Malt Whisky from all twenty-eight operating single malt distilleries owned by Diageo. This once in a lifetime blend has a complex of aromas and flavours with a well-balanced blend of carefully selected tastes that's very refreshing.

Appearance

Pale clear amber, with moderate beading.

Body

Rich and rounded.

Nose

Surprisingly mild in feel and the overall aroma is tightly integrated with spicy-sweet and fruity autumnal forests. It slowly reveals more herbal notes, with minty toffee and hints of pastry.

Palate

A balance of sweetness, acidity and tannic dryness. Nuts and spice lead and are closely followed by the sweetness of barley sugar. A nutty sugared flavour reappears only to disappear amid more citrus, tempered by toffee and finally fruity dark chocolate.

Finish

Of medium-length, with buttery pastry, warming spice and a thin layer of sharp fruit; a fresh apple pie ready for the oven. The fruit lingers as apple skin, joined by crisp pear.
