Speyside 13 Year Old Tasting Notes
Official tasting notes
Nose: A bright fruit-driven nose. Apricots, stewed apples, brown sugar and a touch of sticky toffee.
Palate: Complex. Layers of delicate stone fruit, tinned fruit syrup and icing sugar weave in and out of richer classic sherry influences of sticky toffee pudding, dates and chocolate.
Finish: Bright sugars and fruity syrup mellow first leaving the headier notes to share centre stage with cinnamon spices and black pepper. A long warmth mellows in the mouth over next few minutes.
Ed's review
Colour: Natural colour; straw gold.
Nose: Soft and most welcoming. Buttery pastries with creme patisserie and strawberry jam. Green apples and pears, with fresh vanilla. A golden cereal note.
Palate: Medium mouthfeel. Warm apple compote and fresh peaches. Vanilla sponge with icing frosting. Milk chocolate, with plenty of milk. Bright spice to liven things up.
Finish: Medium to long finish. Warming with fruit and sweet cereal. A touch of wood spice.
About Uncharted's Tapestry
What do you get when you take a delicate and delicious Speyside whisky, mature it in ex-Oloroso sherry octaves, ex Pedro Ximenez sherry cask and ex-bourbon wood, before weaving the three together? A tapestry.
Each of Uncharted's whiskies is named after a song or album they love. The name always has to suit the character of the dram or how they made it. Tapestry, is the name given to this delicate weaving of these casks to create a “triple cask” whisky. Oloroso sherry octaves, woven into a Pedro Ximenez Sherry cask and a remarkable ex-bourbon cask. This is a dram Jack and Dana have created from scratch, taking a fantastic Speyside canvas and maturing spirit further in their personal selection of wood to create a whisky both powerful and subtle.
