DS Tayman
Interesting wine finishes, affordable releases
The vision of DS Tayman was to offer something different and memorable to their family, friends and fellow drinkers but for an affordable price. After traveling Scotland and seeking out carefully matured casks from the most remote places, they have now turned their passion into a reality.
All of their whisky casks have been individually paired with a complementary wine finish, giving each dram its own special character.
For the current Tulip edition they chose Tulip Winery. Nestled in the hillside of Northern Israel is a small agricultural community for residents with special needs. The winery employs members of the community, allowing them the chance for meaningful occupation.
Each of these whiskies was finished for several months in hand picked Tulip Syrah wine barrels. This particular harvest of Syrah grapes was lusciously ripe and fruity – influencing the whisky with softer tannin, jammier fruit and spice notes of licorice, anise and earthy leather.
