Heritage

Goldthorpe

Arcadian Series (Jul 2024)

Description

Arcadian Farm Origins explore the natural flavours of days gone by, a taste that time has forgotten. Eschewing the quotidian varieties of today, we are curious to unearth long-forgotten barleys – where natural flavours evolved over centuries in harmony with landscape, soil & climate. We venture back in time to reintroduce the iconic variety Goldthorpe, found as a single, fortuitous mutation in a Yorkshire barley field in 1889. Over half a century later, the pioneering barley breeder, Dr Hunter, declared, ‘It was, & still is, one of the best quality varieties in existence.’ We are proud to present our nearest thing to time travel to a new era of single malt connoisseurs.

Appearance:

Sunkissed amber hue with legs that looks like pause has been pressed on the rich viscosity.

Nose:

Green vegetation, rich granola bar, berry compote, red apple, green tea, bell peppers, melon, roast beef gravy, prunes.

Taste:

Sweet orchard fruits, apples and pears, creamy, smooth texture, light spiciness, red berries, honey, hay dust, cloves, raisins, dry barnyard.

Finish:

A lingering dry sweetness leave a delicate lasting note of dried fruits and a touch of spice.
