A mysterious blended malt matured 24 years in a Sherry Hogshead. Bottled at 54.3%. Probably more ex-Edrington stock, ie. Macallan, Highland Park and the like. Regardless, it is excellent stuff!
700 ml
Andrew's Tasting Note
Nose: doughy with Christmas cake, dark chocolate, treacle sauce and sticky toffee pudding; soft leather, a touch of tobacco, salted caramel and soft peat smoke.
Palate: round, rich, spicy and fruity; the elegant peat smoke makes a bigger impact on the palate which is oily and sherried; more Christmas cake, flourless dark chocolate cake with pink peppercorns; building spices, leather, chocolate and tobacco; sticky toffee pudding with treacle sauce.
Finish: long, warming and spicy; more sherry notes and crisp smoke; finishes dry and salty with gentle peat oils and earthy-sherry tones.
Comment: whereever this mystery Blended Malt stock is coming from, keep it coming; it almost never disappoints!
