INTRIGUING? CAPTIVATING? FASCINATING!

This 17 year old Highlander was matured in a 2nd fill barrel and comes in at 56%.

Flavour profile:  Spicy & dry.

Outturn:  259 bottles.

Panel's tasting note:  "A warm, sweet, earthy aroma of quality potting soil using peat, bark and recycled mushroom compost was soon joined by the scent of a brand new Mackintosh raincoat and sweet gooseberry pickle – intriguing? It certainly intrigued us! To taste, like spicy savoury basmati rice with cloves, cinnamon, cardamom and curry powder as well as peas, sweetcorn and sliced almonds – captivating?

When we added water we were brewing a Chinese chrysanthemum flower-based infused tea and drinking cactus juice liqueur (tequila, triple sec and herbs) as well as kummel (liqueur flavoured with caraway seed, cumin and fennel) - fascinating!"
