BUNSEN BURNER AND BURNT CAPACITORS

This 10 year old Speysider is 59.8% and spent its life in a 1st fill white wine hogshead

Flavour profile:  Deep, rich & dried fruits

Outturn:  262 bottles

Panel's tasting note:  "There was smoke in the air; slightly burnt buttered toast or ginger biscuits, smoked apple pie and smoked mackerel risotto but also burnt capacitors, a fuel spill and a distant struck match – could this possibly be a lethal combination! Let’s try it; the struck match was for a Bunsen burner to scorch a crème caramel, some runny egg yolk still in a bowl nearby, but also to start the barbecue with some firelighters. Water defused the situation; toffee popcorn, chocolate dipped cherries, Reese’s peanut butter cups and in the taste slightly burnt sweet fruit quiche and potato wedges with a roasted garlic dip." 

Drinking tip:  "For those heated moments"
