Notes

Cask No. G8.19    

Class in a glass

Lowland

After 29 years in ex-bourbon wood, we transferred this into a first-fill Spanish oak Oloroso hogshead. The imprint is obvious – a nose that wafts elegant wood fragrances, Szechwan peppercorns and cashews, chocolate cake, sweet chilli sauce and balsamic glaze on watermelon. The palate bursts with treacle toffee and banoffie pie, sultanas, dates, rum and raisin and Christmas stollen; star anise and wood resins to finish. The reduced nose combines PX sherry, Armagnac and Muscat with fruit cake, crema Catalana, almond cake, apricot jam and orange blossom. The palate now has coconut, dried orange slices, chocolate gingers, toasted oak and banana fritters.
