SOLD OUT!

This very small batch blend was created with a cask each of Glenrothes (single malt) and Strathclyde (single grain). It is very heavily sherried… can’t wait to try it! 46%. Limit 1 per customer!

Andrew's Tasting Note

Nose: classic, big, dumpy, old-school sherry bomb; liquid Christmas cake and mole sauce; Sunrype Fruit Bars, Panda brand licorice and treacle sauce.

Palate: round, fruity and rich with building spices; classic-Christmas cake notes and old school sherry; more mole sauce and treacle with both Panda brand licorice and a touch of Dutch licorice; there are clean, silky tendrils of floral grain notes and bright orange.

Finish: big, rich and trending towards nutty and leathery; dark spices, chocolate and fruits linger long and elegantly with the delicate grains notes lingering longest.

Comment: on the bang for buck scale this is a steal; the grain softens up nicely what might have been an over the top sherry bomb;  delish.

Producer’s Tasting Note

Nose: Rich sherry, chocolate and dark cherries with almonds, hints of bubblegum and faint dry spices.

Palate: Obvious dark fruits, brambles, raspberries and a whiff of smoke. Drying wood spice with cloves and orange oils.

Finish: Starts soft and then grows chewier with pecans, maple syrup and cracked black pepper.
