SUCCULENT, SCINTILLATING AND SUBSTANTIAL

This 21 year old Speysider, bottled for the 2019 Speyside Whisky Festival, spent 19 years in an ex-Oloroso butt before being transferred to a 2nd fill PX butt for the remainder of its maturation, and it comes in at 57.2%.

Flavour profile:  Deep, rich & dried fruits.

Outturn:  681 bottles.

Panel's tasting note:  "On the nose neat bags of prunes, figs and raisins, like a rich dark fruit cake with finely grated lemon and orange zest, plenty of brandy and/or dark rum. The taste, undiluted, was big, substantial and chewy - deeply caramelized burnt sugar toffee with chocolate and toasted walnuts.

When we added water the aroma of sweet succulent sultanas alternated with a slightly burnt spicy gingery note, whilst on the palate a fascinating/scintillating array of flavours like cinnamon, vanilla and eucalyptus, and in the never-ending finish chocolate covered macadamia nuts. After 19 years in an ex-Oloroso butt we transferred this whisky into a 2nd fill PX butt."
