Single Malt
Scotland
1 Jan 1991
A 16 year old matured in first fill and refill sherry casks, distilled in 1991 and bottled by Gordon and MacPhail.
The nose retains a good sweetness with juicy peels and chewy sultanas. Notes of stemmy hay and a greenness pertain a good freshness. There are notes of mocchaccino and a little nuttiness. The palate is rich and full with creamy vanilla fudge. A little toasted oak spice and cereal notes with sherried raisins. The finish is warm and malty with creamy fudge.
This was a speyside with a difference. It has a lovely browned sugar note to it and there was a very soft hint of smoke. All in all a great bottle from a lesser known distillery, selling at a very reasonable price.
