Notes

Cask No. 100.40

Well red

Speyside, Deveron

The initial nose gave the immediate and resounding impression of stickiness! Red fruit syrups, rose wine dregs, jammy sponge cake, candied rose petals and lashings of cassis and young, sweet port wines were all detected and discussed. A splash of water revealed cranberries, classic fruit loaf, doughnut jam cores, fruity children's toothpaste and concentrated blackcurrant syrup. The neat palate was surprisingly rounded, with kirsch water, unlit cigars, hard toffee and red fruit cider. We also found firmer notes of plasticine and peppercorns. With water we got roasted almonds, fruit liqueurs, red liquorice, some paprika heat, raspberry ripple ice cream, and citrus and red fruit fizzy pop. Matured for seven years in a bourbon hogshead, this was then transferred to a first fill d'Arenberg Australian shiraz barrique.
