AN EXPLOSION OF PLAYFULNESS

This 15 year old Speysider came from a refill hogshead and is 57%

Flavour profile:  Young & spritely

Outturn:  300 bottles

Panel's tasting note:  "The nose was light and mild – fruity, sweet aromas of 'flying saucers' candies, sherbet, Edinburgh Rock candy, vanilla, limoncello, grapefruit and talc were prevented from wafting away on the breeze by a ballast of pine, tree bark, basketry and cinnamon spice. The palate was youthful and lively; fizzy sherbet and ‘popping candy mixed with gunpowder’ exploded on our tongues – flavours included lemon, orange zest and yellow gummy bears – maybe a hint of perfumed bath bombs. With water, the nose found flowers, wood sap, lipstick and tea. The palate, now more playful than lively, suggested yellow coconut Liquorice Allsorts and cakes in waxed paper."

Drinking tip:  "As a palate cleanser - or in place of sparkling wine at a celebration"

750 ml
