Waxhouse No.008 Tasting Notes

Official tasting notes

Nose: Cola, baked fruit.

Palate: Dark chocolate, kola cubes, cloves and shortbread

Finish: Tobacco, redcurrant jelly and nutmeg.

Ed's review

Colour: Deep amber, like loose-leaf tea. Coats the glass thickly with tears that develop slowly.

Nose: Caramel with rich butter noisette and brown sugar. Autumnal red apples. Sherried fruits and macerated berries. Oak and wood spice.

Palate: Full mouthfeel, thick and coating. Rich, dark fruits, with blackcurrant, cherries, and plums. Dark fruit and nut chocolate. Caramel and molasses. Alcohol is well integrated adding to the body. That said, it can easily take a few drops of water to unlock further flavour.

Finish: Medium to long finish with dark fruits fading through warm spice into red apples and oak.

Overall: Big, bold, flavoursome - this is a real treat and a rather unusual one at that.

About this Waxhouse release

Distilled at Milk and Honey, this is a rather unusual dram: an Israeli whisky. In Israel's hot climate the whisky matures far quicker than an equivalent cask in Scotland. As a result, the flavours are well beyond what one may expect from a three year old whisky. It packs a bold flavour punch, and is a great dram to sit and unpick on a cold night.

How much is shipping?

Shipping charges are calculated during checkout, depending on where you live and how many bottles you’re buying. It's usually more cost effective to ship two or more bottles, particularly for international orders. The perfect excuse to treat yourself to an extra bottle!

What about taxes?

All alcoholic products sold by TopWhiskies are sold subject to UK alcohol tax, which is already included in the price.

UK sales are subject to VAT (currently 20%), which is included in the price. Sales outside of the UK are not subject to this tax, and international prices do not include it.

We use a specialist US shipper who sorts out US taxes. These costs are factored into the US shipping charges. So shipping may look pricey, but remember it covers your taxes as well, so there'll be no further bills to pay.

For all other territories, including those in Europe, please note: your order could be subject to local sales taxes and duties upon arrival in the destination country. All additional charges are the responsibility of the recipient. As customs policies vary widely from country to country, TopWhiskies has no control over these charges, so you should contact your local customs office for further information. If you refuse to pay any import duties and taxes, this could result in the goods being destroyed by customs or being returned back to us - any refund offered would include a deduction of our costs.

Which couriers do you use?

In the UK we use Royal Mail, Parcelforce and APC. US orders are sent via UPS. International orders use FedEx and DHL. Orders are despatched from our UK warehouse Mondays to Fridays, excluding public holidays.
