Tasting Notes
The aroma was breath-taking, with unsmoked maple bacon, butterscotch pancakes, candied Seville oranges, black tea and cloves...and the list could just go on and on. On the palate we found a truly irresistible combination of sweet caramel, smooth butter and vanilla, making it a classic butterscotch coffee syrup poured over maple ice cream. After careful reduction, the scent of rum and raisin fudge alongside damson jam and amaretti biscuits appeared. To taste there was initially a little spice coming from ginger beer and cinnamon buns before we enjoyed lavender shortbread and a glass of amarone wine. Following 29 years in an oloroso butt we transferred this whisky into a first fill PX butt.
This incredible whisky was awarded Double Gold at this year's International Spirits Challenge. Out of some 761 entries, only 19 casks in the competition were awarded this global accolade. Our Tasting Panel called it “breathtaking” and “truly irresistible.” We say, this 35-year-old Speyside whisky is one you need to try.
