Nomad Outland Whisky
This dram travelled a lot!
Recently I won a set of two glasses and a bottle of whisky at an online raffle. It was a bottle of Nomand Outland Whisky.
This Whisky had a fun story: It travels!
I wanted to explain it, but Nomad describes it the best on their website:
NOMAD begins its journey in the whisky heartland of Speyside, Scotland, at the Whyte & Mackay distilleries, only to finish maturing in Jerez, in the sherry casks of González Byass within their legendary cellars, to go beyond the rules. For the first 6 years, it ages in bourbon barrels in Scotland, after which the liquid travels to Jerez where it remains for an additional year in old Pedro Ximénez casks.
So, after Spain, it travelled to me. To drink it.
This whisky, made in Scotland, aged in Spain, has a warm deep color, with a copper hue.
It was bottled at 41,3% Vol. Unfortunately, I could find no information about any coloring or what filtration was done.
On first nosing, I got toffee and burned caramel. Even some honey in the background. A second whiff gives me raspberries and orange peel.
The first sip gives me a load of fudge and caramel, although there is also a small kick of the spirit. A little too much for my taste.
A second sip gives smaller hnts of hazelnuts and mocha.
The finish is medium long, and leaves some malt, honey and raisins.
