Teaninich 10 Year Old Flora & Fauna - 43% 70cl

A rare flora and fauna 10 year old from the Eastern Highland distillery, Teaninich.

Part of Diageo's Flora & Fauna series, this Highland single malt is distilled at Teaninich in Ross-shire.

Matured for a decade before bottling at a strength of 43% abv, this whisky is most often used up in major brands of blended Scotch.

Serving Suggestion: Teaninich works best served in a traditional whisky glass, neat or with a little water.

Nose: The first impression is fresh and citric (oranges and lemons), with a background scent of violets, which rises then falls. It is replaced by concentrated orange juice and old oranges. There are some very light cereal notes (cornflakes?) in the background. 

Palate: Light and sweetish, but overall dry with pleasant acidity and even a pinch of salt.

Finish: Long and dry. The beeswax returns in the aftertaste.
