Tasting Notes
The nose danced in with rich wood oils, walnut and dried figs, swirling to the snap of castanets at a Spanish fiesta. Hints of party rings, mango and raisins tapped out a rhythmic paso doble alongside sugar puffs and pink wafers. The palate waltzed through brandy butter melting over flaming fruitcake, with port and chocolate ganache dipping in and out like a graceful flamenco twirl. With water, orange peel and poached pears played lead to tobacco and almond skins, while madeira cake and walnut added a hearty tapas plate of indulgence. Lastly, smooth nougat and praline joined a toffee and nut-filled chocolate bar lingering like a late-night fandango encore. Olé! At 10 years of age, we combined selected casks from the same distillery. We then returned the single malt into a variety of different casks to develop further. This is one of those casks.
