Notes

About Reminisce in the human dimension: This ‘Pearl of the Speyside’ cask offers loads of rich vanilla and toasty oak from a heavily toasted, medium char hogshead. The core profile of orchard fruit shines through with a healthy dose of caramel to keep things deliciously gooey.

Tasting Panel Note: The Panelists poured molten toffee on to a deeply creamy vanilla ice cream, topped with dark chocolate shavings and bruised red apples. The palate had us reminiscing about a mix of PX sherry and bourbon; thick, buttery, woody and a deep caramel. Reduction served to emphasize the apple and caramel but add water with caution to maintain this dram's unctuous, calorific mouthfeel. After 13 years in an ex-bourbon hogshead, we transferred this to a first fill heavily toasted, medium charred hogshead for the remainder of its maturation.
