Notes
Cask No. 1.246
A one like no other
Speyside, Spey
We all looked at each other, are you getting the same as me? Yes, smoke! Roasted Tonka beans with the aromatic scent of burnt vanilla and bitter almonds. A fragrant smoke on the palate neat – could it be that the valley of the green grass and the surrounding heathery hills were on fire? A real mystery what happened here, a 2nd fill bourbon barrel, but what was the first fill? After we added water salted caramel, sage and treacle next to cinnamon-stewed apples and roasted chestnuts on the nose appeared. The taste was now sweet, lightly smoked pears with gingersnap stuffing and a dollop of soft whipped cream.
