Single Cask Nation • Wolf Island Take #2

WOLF Island Take 2 is the follow up to 2021 's original bottling and extends Single Cask Nation's collaboration with Water of Life Film. This single malt Scotch whisky release is a marriage of six 1st fill ex-bourbon casks five of which were unpeated and the sixth being lightly peated bottled at the quaffable ABV of 48.8%. While we must be Squirrelly regarding the source of the liquid we can guarantee its deliciousness. Color: Bright Gold Nose: Bright and citrusy with pronounced grain sweetness to begin but sit with it and there's canned fruit cocktail white stone fruits and a few wisps of earthy smoke Palate: An unctuous entry with a mouth coating oiliness delivers notes of melted vanilla ice cream over canned peaches baked apples smothered in warm custard cinnamon dusted oatmeal and just a hint of cracked black pepper Finish: Good length with milk chocolate soft hazelnut toffee and a little coffee bean earthiness
