Happy Easter to all, wanted to do a chocolate themed episode and couldn't feel like a better candidate than the Lohin McKinnon Cocoa Aged Single Malt. Classic Lohin McKinnon single malt notes of bright citrus and twangy hops mixed with complex chocolate tones of bitter, spicy and sweet. A perfect whisky for Easter.
Alcohol - 43% / 86 proof
Color - Dark brown with copper edges
Nose - Deep chocolate notes with hints of both bitter and spicy on the nose, the Lohin McKinnon signature citrus and hops are in the background
Taste - The backbone of the Lohin McKinnon Single Malt is through with bright notes of citrus and hops but then that Thomas Haas chocolate starts flowing, spicy, bitter, sweet cocoa given the whisky an overall deep note.
Finish - Like whisky filled chocolates you would have gotten as a child but reverse
Best Enjoyed - Neat but if you want to be adventurous, you could try this in an old fashion or sour
