Nose: Lemon pie. Yes. Spicy lemon pie. Isn’t. It nice? Very fresh. Not a hint of smoke. Summer in a glass. Fresh Granny Smith apples. Lemongrass, Fresh with a capital F, but also zingy. Quite youngish, with the apple-peat combo that speaks of its youth.
Palate: Big peppery entry. Spicy and chilly hot. Abv. to the Max! this is some muscular blend ! let it rest a bit then you are off to malty realms , touches of apple and pear in the background too . Then dry.
Finish: Dry. Spicy. Peppery, and a distant echo of apple.
A mighty blend in terms of ABV% , very lemony, summery, but also biting with lots of pepper and Chilly. Could be nice neat, or even better in a nice whisky cocktail. It’s pretty much a Cutty sark on steroids, and as such It’s one of a kind. I am not sure if this one is what i will get next, but it’s worth getting if you’re a fan, or just like to have a special blend in your bar.

Thanks so much for the review! When I got the email from caskstrength about what they were doing for 'Letter C', I was interested in what Joel and Neil (and Kirsteen for that matter) came up with. It sounds refreshing, lucky you to get to try it! I'm looking forward to letter 'D'.
