Wardhead is the name William Grants gives to the casks they sell of Glenfiddich, this was a Bourbon Hogshead. Wardhead is Glenfiddich teaspooned with Balvenie this casks are sold as blended malt so blenders cant forward them as single malt. Apparently nobody actually bothers going around adding a teaspoon of another malt to the barrels anymore to make these malts blends. This was a joint bottling by Casa de Vinos, Bar Helvetica and Whisknick.
Some lovely ocean spray and subtle smoke on the nose. More of the ocean than the fire on the nose at least. Sweet upfront and then a little prickly, but beautifully done. Apricot jam which reveals freshly cracked black pepper, that smoothens into cured meats and honey. This dram gives a charcuterie board alongside a cigar. A taster is well worthwhile as this has certainly moved me towards buying a bottle.
I've actually been wanting to taste this so I can make up my mind to buy a bottle. When I found your site and saw it had this I immediately bought some tasting samples and absolutely loved it! Will definitely invest in a bottle
Heard for a while how good Littlemill’s can be. This SMWS 30yo certainly did not disappoint, the nose on this dram was amazing.
It was a flavour packed palete, that certainly stood out as such a fine whisky.
Thanks again Horny Pony for providing some banging drams, with a great service throughout
