TEASING TANGO OF FRUITS AND FLOWERS

From a 1st fill barrel, this 9 year old Speysider comes in at 57.3%.

Flavour profile:  Young & spritely.

Outturn:  234 bottles.

Panel's tasting note:  "The nose is an enticement of fruity and floral – orange and lime Starburst, gorse flowers and garden centres; plus gentle pepper and peppermint tingles. There is considerably more tingle on the palate – sweet chili sauce, pink peppercorns and balsamic glaze – but it still floods the mouth with marshmallow sweetness, vanilla and raspberry ice lollies.

The reduced nose continues the teasing tango between floral and citric notes – but now also picks up some vanilla sarsaparilla. The palate is warming, sweet, succulent and very drinkable – banoffee pie and custard, restrained citrus and spice and rose petals drifting down behind closed eyelids."
