ESPRESSO TO THE POWER OF FOUR

CALGARY MEMBER ORDERS ONLY UNTIL MONDAY, JUNE 7th.

This 12 year old Speysider was matured in a 1st fill ex-sherry butt and is 64.5%.

Flavour profile:  Deep, rich & dried fruits.

Outturn:  596 bottles.

Panel's tasting note:  "An amazing colour of highly polished conkers was followed by a herbal whack, almost slightly medicinal - like crushed aspirin - but at the same time roasted chestnuts and blackstrap rum. On the palate neat it reminded us of two classic cocktails ‘Corn ‘n’ Oil’ and ‘Dark ‘n’ Stormy’ – serious stuff. Assertive spices met dark treacle toffee and an espresso to the power of 4!

With the addition of water, a dark sweetness of molasses appeared next to caramelized figs as well as a prune and Armagnac tart. The taste was that of a juicy pack of sultanas stirred with a cinnamon stick and a death by chocolate cake made with PX Sherry."
