Speyside single malt
Cask # 800247
2nd fill Bourbon Hogshead
Distilled October 1999
23 years old
51.8% /70 cl
260 bottles
Colour: White tea
Nose: Delicate and subtle with
dried, pressed flowers (the type
found in an old book on your
Granny’s bedside table),
chamomile tea, icing sugar, crisp,
green apples, and hints of aniseed.
Let it sit for a bit and grass
freshly cut on a hot day, pear
drops, and even furniture polish
leap out
Palate: Does what older single
malts do so well: no one note
overwhelms the palate but a lot of
subtle notes gang together to
present a singular experience.
Tease out notes of creme
patissiere, flaky pastry, peach
crumble, and a subtle cracked
pepper warmth as it transitions
towards the finish
Finish: Moderate length with
brown Licorice All-Sorts,
chamomile tea, and lingering
cracked pepper
