SWEET AND SPICY WITH A SAVOURY KICK

This 9 year old Speysider was matured in a refill butt and comes in at 65%

Flavour profile:  Deep, rich & dried fruits

Outturn:  618 bottles

Panel's tasting note:  "The aromas are heady and inviting - dates, gingerbread pastry, rich toffee and a whiff of balsamic. We imagined a glazed ham, all spice, black pepper and pickled vegetables on the side. The taste at full strength was big and sweet. Cinder toffee with “builder’s tea” (strong, with milk and sugar) and a touch of burnt sugar from the bottom of a saucepan. With water, there was mulled wine with oranges and spices and a freshly baked apple and plum crumble with caramelized sugar and cinnamon. The taste left us wanting more - sweet and spicy with a little savoury kick, mince pies, cereals and crème brûlée."

Drinking tip:  "A pleasingly big sherried dram for its age"
