EATING ICE CREAM IN A HUMIDOR: A 12 year old Orcadian dram, 59.1%, after maturing in a First Fill Barrel. "The taste neat is like eating an ice cream in a humidor. Less sweet than on the nose with maritime flavours of oysters, shrimps and other shellfish more dominant."

STEAK & ALE PIE: A 16 year old whisky from an Island distillery barely older than that, from a First Fill Sherry Puncheon at 54.2%. "Lightly rich to taste with cookie dough, woody tobacco, honey and a bitter aftertaste; two Panellists enjoyed steak & ale puff pastry pie."

FRIGHTENINGLY EASY TO DRINK: A 16 year old Speysider at 57% from a Refill Barrel. "The palate was a beautiful mix of dark chocolate, glace cherries and dates with tingling lemon and tonic, spicy chilli, leather and wood."
Panel's Tasting Note: "For some, the nose indicated leather books on polished oak tables and, somehow connected with that, tobacco, white pepper and Murray mints; most of us found fresh, fruity sweetness (Bounty Bars, apricot Danish, Twizzle lollies, sherbet). The palate was a beautiful mix of dark chocolate, glacé cherries and dates with tingling lemon and tonic, spicy chilli, leather and wood – intense flavours yet mellow at the same time. Water brought a complete afternoon tea to the nose (marshmallows, fruit scones, clotted cream, Garibaldi’s and Jammy Dodgers). The palate developed lemon French Fancies and flapjacks – frighteningly easy to drink.From Rothes’ first distillery."
Drinking Tip: "At a summer garden tea party - or in a bookshop."

SINFULLY SEDUCTIVE: At 59.5% this 8 Year Speysider is still very 'seductive' coming from a 1st Fill Barrel.
Panel's Tasting Note: "Attractive perfumes made the nose sinfully seductive; elderflowers, daffodils, white grapes, lemon and pepper, floated like pretty clouds over luscious landscapes of cereal. With water, we found it spritzy, fresh and clean; fruit salads of pineapple, strawberry, peach, pear and grape on beds of vanilla custard. The immediate palate was deliciously sweet (iced doughnuts, dried fruits) with entrancing orchard flavours (Williams pear and delicate blossoms made us long for Spring), but besides that, we also encountered zesty lemon sorbet, magnificent malt, subtle wood, peppery spice and (believe it or not) salty leather. An amazing, lip-smackingly tasty dram from Dufftown’s oldest distillery." -
Drinking Tip: "Not very typical of the make - could be an aperitif for the first picnic lunch of spring."
