Tasting

Nose

Fresh and crisp, reminiscent of a spring meadow. Subtle hints of forest honey and beeswax add a sweet, natural depth without overpowering the profile.

Palate

The initial impression is creamy and mild, with a pleasant sweetness of honey and sugary undertones. Fruity notes of apricot and peach gently come to the fore. A slight warmth develops over time, harmonizing the overall flavor.

Finish

The finish is short but delightful. Sweet and fruity notes linger briefly, followed by a light dryness with a touch of white pepper, creating an elegant conclusion.

Verdicts

Marcel

This Infinity Cask is like a lively stroll full of surprises – sweet, fruity, and with a charming hint of roughness that gives it character. It’s simply fun to sip your way through the flavors without it ever feeling too complicated. For anyone looking for a whisky that stays vibrant yet remains pleasantly approachable, this comes highly recommended.

Sascha

The Infinity Cask impresses with its balanced interplay of sweetness, fruitiness, and subtle spice notes, even though the somewhat rough texture keeps it from achieving perfect harmony. Its clear structure and moderate finish reveal an interesting cask strategy that still leaves room for greater finesse. For connoisseurs who appreciate complex English single casks, this whisky offers a solid, if not flawless, experience.

What it is worth

No auction record for this distillery, so we cannot tell you what this bottle is worth. We would rather say that than guess.
