UHURU Meaning 'freedom' in Swahili is the inaugural release from Young Spirits. The brand was created out of a collaboration with conservation charity, Tusk and Young Spirits. This Blended Malt Scotch Whisky was matured initially in baby bourbon casks then vatted and re-racked into a virgin oak hogshead for finishing.

Tasting Notes
Bottle Name: Uhuru
ABV: 55%
Distillery: Ailsa Bay
Bottler: Young Spirits
Region: Lowlands
Age: 10 Years
Nose: Sweet and unsurprisingly cask-driven. Pear drops and pear syrup together with peach yoghurt and ground sugar. Vanilla pods and toffee popcorn sit with crème brulee and charred staves. Dilution offers additional fruitiness with white grapes and gooseberries alongside caramel wafer biscuits and creamed rice.
Taste: Macerated peaches and apricot slices join pureed orchard fruits, whilst perceptible high ABV is accompanied by a juxtaposition of cask creaminess and oak spicing – both of which are pretty heady. Vanilla extract with burnt toffee, overdone caramel and building pepperiness. Smoke is exceedingly background and largely enveloped by the sweetness and wood.
The addition of water introduces tart grapes and Greek yoghurt, whilst amplifying the strong maturation regime further – puckering, drying tannins, overt oak and somewhat surprisingly - hedgerow berries.
Finish: Medium in length and focussed on oaky sweetness, peach melba and fading pepper.
