The Bastard No.3 Tasting Notes

Nose: Captivating, like uncovering a dusty treasure from an old dunnage warehouse. Aromas of candied peach candy, honey and liquorice wafts through the air, mingling with subtle wood notes that hint at the Bastards depth and complexity. Did someone mention ‘popcorn’? The nose invites you to explore its layers. A few drops of water reveal delicate floral scents and a sparkling fruitiness, reminiscent of a spring morning in a blossoming orchard.

Palate: A playful yet layered flavour profile unfolds. Can this really be just 7 years old? Dutch ‘trekdrop’ liquorice dominates, with rich, deep liquorice flavours making a strong impression. Tutti Frutti and candied fruit add a cheerful sweetness that keeps everything in balance. The alcohol stays in the background, letting the funky character shine.

Finish: Elegant, with liquorice notes returning, now accompanied by subtle charcoal, rooibos, and a hint of sweet-sour fruit compote, providing a surprising and refreshing contrast.

How much is shipping?

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.
