"Distilled at a Secret Speyside Distillery", this single malt was bottled exclusively for Kensington Wine Market after maturing 25 years in a Sherry Hogshead cask. Only 72 bottles, filled at 48.7%. The whisky is suspected to have come from the Glen Grant Distillery. Our label shows the early Calgary Fire Department performing a ladder drill.

Andrew's Tasting Note

Nose: rich, spicy and nutty with dried fruits; maple syrup and fig jam; doughy, fruit flan and juicy oranges; mango dusted in pepper and spiced pears; soft leather, tobacco leaf and chocolate.

Palate: thick, rich and spicy; more dried fruits, leaning towards dates, prunes and more fig jam; some tropical fruits too, again with a spicy kick; firm leather, dark bakers chocolate, juicy tobacco and earthy spice: clove, fennel and anise; barrel aged maple syrup, sticky toffee pudding with treacle sauce and classic Christmas cake sherry tones; are you not entertained?!

Finish: drying and nutty with more dried fruits, leather, chocolate and tobacco; long, rich and layered.

Comment: this is a big sherried single malt; old school sherry on the heavy-muscular side of things; reminds me of Macallan but rumour has it this whisky is more likely to be from the oldest distillery in the town of Rothes...
