Product description
In the early 1990s, following the huge success of Classic Malts, United Distillers (a previous incarnation of Diageo) launched another range of single malts.
This time they came from lesser-known distilleries, producing almost exclusively for the needs of the corporation's blends (Teaninich is one of the main components of Johnnie Walker). The new series, Flora & Fauna, was labeled with an image of a representative of the flora or fauna characteristic of the distillery's headquarters. Teaninich 10 years old, whose label is decorated with a pair of porpoises, was part of the original series.
Aroma: fresh, fruity and grassy, apples, pears, a bit of hay, ferns and dried herbs, honey, milk chocolate and a barely perceptible note of peat smoke.
Palate: fruity-grassy-leafy combination, apples, grapes, butter cookies, lemon pepper, notes of licorice, candied ginger, hay and oak.
Finish : medium long, dry, with notes of pepper, ginger, hay, a hint of fennel and dried herbs.
