Cask No. 95.54          

Plenty to cheer about

Speyside, Lossie

The aroma of sun-ripened apples, golden raisins and black cherries intermingled with the scent of marzipan and liqurice. On the palate we took a sip from a green stemmed wine glass drinking Federweisser, ‘feather- white’, basically alcoholic grape juice on sale in all wine growing regions in Germany at special wine festivals celebrating the end of harvest. Diluted, the typical food being served was onion cake, made from flat dough, steamed onions, bacon and crème fraiche and to finish a RinQuinQuin à la pêche with tonic and plenty of ice. Following thirteen years in an ex-bourbon hogshead, we transferred this whisky into a 1st fill American oak PX Sherry hogshead.
