COMPLEX AND FULL OF CHARACTER

This 9 year old Speysider is 60.4% and is from a 1st fill barrel

Flavour profile:  Juicy, oak & vanilla

Outturn:  216 bottles

Panel's tasting note:  "We found the nose surprisingly complex for the age – we got floral notes, fruity notes (mango, pineapple, wrinkled apples), currants, crème brûlée and a cabinet maker’s workshop. The palate was mouth-filling and yummy, with good viscosity (fruit syrup poured over crêpes), sweet  Muscat, juicy sultanas and orange fondants, with nice balancing chili heat and a dry finish. The nose, with water, delivered lychees in syrup, dried pineapple, coconut, incense candles and aromatic wood. The reduced palate had orange zest and wine gum fruitiness and light mouth tingles from the wood – a dram of decent complexity, individual character and very drinkable indeed."

Drinking tip:  "Relaxing with a good book"
