Cask No. G8.22

Lowland
The nose hit all the right receptors as manuka honey, peanut brittle and orange syrup merged with beeswax on toasted oak, prunes soaked in rum, and wood shavings in a carpenter's leather tool belt. The palate was also a cause for elation, with dark chocolate, nuts and figs mixed into treacle and marmalade dusted with cinnamon, star anise and cloves. Adding water continued the gratification towards Christmas cake, mince pies and honey with hints of Jerez sherry and porcini mushrooms on moss. Singed raisins now combined with orange chocolate, crema catalan and Turkish delight embedded with pistachios and star anise. After 29 years in an ex-bourbon hogshead we transferred this into a first fill Spanish oak oloroso hogshead.
