Crabbie’s Yardhead Single Malt Scotch Whisky
John Crabbie was a pioneer in whisky and challenged convention. In the early 1800’s, he had the outlandish idea of mixing his whisky and his ginger wine and in so doing, he created the Whisky Mac – one of the first ever whisky cocktails. A perfect serve is a mix of Crabbie’s Yardhead and Crabbie’s Ginger wine in equal proportions over ice in a tumbler.
Nose: Custard Cream biscuits, lemon peel, a touch of savoury wood.
Palate: Mint leaf, toffee apple, white grape, slightly toasty.
Finish: Rye heat and soft cinnamon.
