One of the first whiskies Mick ever made, approached with putting his years of artisan baking into a dram. A complicated mash bill of Chocolate, Biscuit, Voodoo, Schooner and Pilsners malts; multiple yeast types and varied fermentation temperatures. In essence, he went Rogue! Funnily enough though he labeled the barrel as “Rouge” and the editor-in-chief (Mel) clearly was chucking a sickie on label proof day!
 
Being so big and complex Rouge/Rogue has aged for just over five years in ex Victorian whisky barrels so its loud charisma has softened to a gentle buzz - just like Mick. 

TASTING NOTES
Nose: caramelized stone fruit, mahogany, burnt butter, spice
Palate: pink pepper, Pain d’epice, treacle, dark fruit cake
Finish: cocoa nibs, lingering Turkish coffee- bitter richness
