IN A GENTLEMEN'S CLUB

One of two casks from the same Orcadian distillery for released the same month. 14 years in a Refill Ex-Sherry Gorda, and 56.1%:

Panel's Tasting Note: "The nose had polished wood, cigars and leather chairs 'like a gentleman's club', lots of cinder toffee, chocolate fingers, pastrami and various fruits (orange jelly, cherries in syrup, plums, figs). The initial palate was somewhat fierce but surprisingly enjoyable – moist ginger cake, Caramac, orange, smoked ham and burnt sticks in birch syrup. The reduced nose had incense, struck match, Trail Mix (dates, raisins, etc.) Horlicks, cinnamon and slightly over-done Christmas cake. The palate now found flambéed bananas, sweet dark toffee and abundant spice (musk, myrrh, cinnamon) at the end. The distillery is supposedly haunted by the ghost of Magnus Eunson."

Drinking Tip: "Perfect dram for the ferry to Orkney – otherwise after dinner."
