Bonnington 5 Year Old 2020 Fruitful Spirits 63.5% 70cl

Exciting Edinburgh distillery Bonnington is building a reputation for releasing vibrant, youthful and often experimental whiskies. And this peated expression from indie bottler Fruitful Spirits is a prime example. Aged for five years in a single new oak barrel charred to level four, it yielded just 261 bottles at a muscular natural strength of 63.5% ABV. With no added colour or chill-filtration, it’s a brilliant opportunity to taste the emerging and distinct Bonnington character.

Tasting notes from Fruitful Spirits:

Nose: Cedar, cigar leaf, bonfire smoke.
Palate: Toffee, vanilla, BBQ briquettes and smouldering charcoal.
Finish: Rich and sweet with oak, caramel and charcoal.
