MATURE WAY BEYOND ITS YEARS

This 8 year old Speysider was matured in 1st fill sherry butt and comes in at 59.8%.

Flavour profile:  Deep, rich & dried fruits.

Outturn:  606 bottles.

Panel's tasting note:  "Even the deep amber colour could not prepare us for the many surprises awaiting us. On the nose neat, sumptuous steamed treacle sponge cake and a luscious dark chocolate & prune mousse were followed by spiced banana fritters dipped in a decadent hot melted chocolate sauce and a warm spiced (packed with nutmeg, cinnamon and clove) hazelnut-pear (sweet wine infused) cake.

Add a tiny drop of water and the room was filled with the aroma of baking chocolate orange pomander cookies whilst on the taste, hazelnut pralines with a glass of Barolo Chinato (fortified wine produced with Nebbiolo grapes in Piedmont)."
