Tasting Notes
Wardington's Ludlow Single Malt English Whisky - Distiller's Cut Cask Edition No.3 is a delightful surprise that blends the elegance of English whisky with the smoky allure of Islay. The nose greets you with a delightful medley of honey, vanilla custard, and soft caramel, with hints of charred herbs and woody peat smoke lingering in the background. On the palate, buttery pastry and crème brûlée dance alongside floral malt and set honey, while vegetal peat murmurs in the depths, accompanied by the rich, smoky oak. The finish is a delightful harmony, with a touch of pepper, peanut brittle, and baked apple towards the end, while creamy barley cushions the distant chimney smoke. This impressive whisky from the young Ludlow-based distillery is a testament to the art of cask maturation, seamlessly intertwining layers of floral honey and creamy butterscotch with elegant whispers of vegetal peat smoke.
