LICKING THE WOODEN SPOON

At 15 years old, this Highland Islander came from a refill hogshead and is 53.8%

Flavour profile:  Juicy, oak & vanilla

Outturn:  227 bottles

Panel's tasting note:  "Enticing, inviting, warm, rich and like ‘walking barefoot on hot sand’ were the initial comments nosing neat. Descriptors given; hot crumpets with runny honey, waffles with golden syrup and buttered popcorn. The taste had the rich sweetness of a chocolate éclair sprinkled with nutmeg whilst in the finish, surprisingly dry. Water added aromas of wood and spice, a well-used wooden rolling pin as well as warm hot cross buns with a slightly waxy mouthfeel of a chamois leather cloth. The overall effect is now charming, innocent and very inviting –don’t we all like licking the wooden spoon after making cakes?"

Drinking tip:  "A quickie whenever the opportunity arises"
