Caledonian Clan Denny Bottling Note
A natural cask strength Caledonian grain whisky, this was matured in cask 6294 (a bourbon barrel) for 45 years before bottling under the Clan Denny label.
Nose: Vanilla and bourbon barrel notes greet the nose, with hints of butterscotch and pannacotta. Maybe some Greek yoghurt with honey. Barley sweetness.
Palate: Sweet and rounded, and rather oily. Plenty of vanilla/bourbon sweetness, with a touch of Seltzer water. Interesting and quite fresh. Hot buttered toast with Nutella and peaches in cream.
Finish: Lovely ginger and clove spices tingling on the tongue. Sweet and almost effervescent.
