Our May Turnout is entirely devoted to the Entomology Series by Liquid Treasures. Each one of these bottles is a limited edition, collectors grade whisky. The labels, as in each one of Liquid Treasures’ releases, are also unique and unusual.
|
|
All drams are available in one of our Explorer Packs, which, as always, is a great way to sample the great drams from our Monthly Turnout list.

|
Nose: Butterscotch, jam tarts with crumbly pastry, a hint of banana.
|
|
Palate: Slowly develops hints of baking spices – clove and nutmeg, particularly. Remains filled with sweet caramel and butterscotch notes.
|
|
Finish: Lingering sweetness of brown sugar and fresh doughnuts.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Nose: Savory at first with oatcakes and sea salt, before a bounty of nectarine and pear notes give it a kick of sweetness. Malted barley and soft maple earthiness. Toasted teacake, salted butter and some tangy orange.
|
|
Palate: Rye bread and quince jam, a touch of flint, caramelized fruit and sandalwood. Brown sugar, a touch of seaweed, drying nutmeg richness.
|
|
Finish: Lasting notes of freshly-baked rye bread and sharp marmalade. Green olive, almond and more warming oak.
|

|
Nose: Richly smoky – bonfire embers and freshly charred oak. Cider apples and buttery shortbread soon follow.
|
|
Palate: Well-charred BBQ pork with a touch of ash. Grilled bananas, dry oak and ground cumin.
|
|
Finish: Slightly floral malt, savoury exotic spices and salted caramel.

Nose: Plenty of phenol, freshly cut fennel and a minty note. Cinnamon and star anise.
|
|
Palate: Sharper mint, strong but not burning. Pronounced phenol with a grapefruit note with a nicely balanced acidity. Salt and iodine with seaweed. Very oily.
|
|
Finish: Long and soft, beautiful. Peat returns only to become stronger as the taste of the whisky fades away.

Nose: Caramelised fruit, honey and a touch of toasted bread, Kelloggs Fruit & Nut cereal, pineapple and grapefruit. It’s also quite green, with aromas of freshly cut grass, moss and a handful of herbs. Chuck in some Bakewell Tarts for good measure, too.
|
Palate: Peppery oak spice, dark chocolate, juicy orchard fruit. Hoppy with a pleasingly soft mouthfeel lifted by a little fresh chilli prickle. There’s also orchard fruits, cashew nuts, a mineral quality and the impression of menthol.
Finish: Soft and gentle with some sugar-dusted pancakes with a squeeze of lemon and jam of orchard fruits, pepped up with some light chilli.
