Notes

Cask No. 80.38 

Morning pause

Speyside, Spey

The first aromas we noted included rye bread spices, bitter ales, cocoa nibs and pollen-heavy wildflowers. We also got rather complex suggestions of turmeric, nettles and toasty oak spices. Water brought baked banana, youthful rums, vanilla sponge cake and stem ginger. When neat the palate was firm and generously spiced with paprika, five spice and then more herbaceous qualities such as wintergreen. Water brought sultana, caramelising demerara sugar, tobacco leaf and caffè latte with caramel syrup. Previously in a bourbon hogshead for 9 years before transfer to a 1st fill toasted Caucasian oak barrique with toasted heads.
