LAY YOUR HEAD ON MY PILLOW

At 60% this 10 year old Southern Highlander came from a refill barrel

Flavour profile:  Sweet, fruity & mellow

Outturn:  223 bottles

Panel's tasting note:  "A crisp, clean, fresh and white array of aromas greeted the Panel first; freshly sawn pine, white pepper, white fleshed peaches and laying one’s head on a brand new pillow. Deeper notes appeared with time; lemon curd, malt loaves and warm wood embers. The taste had a good chili, gingery heat with the syrupy viscosity of Chinese sweet and sour sauce, and the finish was that of tangy sharp oranges. Diluted, the oranges became zingy buttercream in a chocolate orange cake and the taste was now soft and buttery, like a carrot cake topped with a cinnamon frosting."

Drinking tip:  "For your first guests at a party"
