Tasting Notes

By spending four years in an ex-oloroso hogshead following eight in ex-bourbon, this traditionally sweet Speysider has taken on oodles of lovely sherry characteristics. On the nose we found perfumed potpourri, varnished oak panels, pumpkin seeds and sliced butternut squash, mixed candied seeds, a manilla envelope and overripe nectarines. The palate brought deep, unctuous, mouthwatering cherries in black forest gâteau, candied walnuts and dried figs in sticky toffee pudding. Dilution unveiled apple skins, mead, unbaked crumble topping, butter biscuits, dried pressed flowers, strawberry boiled sweets, fruit candies and watermelon. And in the mouth, we discovered orange wine, red vermouth, sage-infused red wine, rhubarb and orange zest. A diverse delight for any lover of sherried whisky.
