A Hepburn's Choice bottling of single malt Scotch whisky from the Balmenach distillery, aged for 12 years in a single refill hogshead cask since distillation occurred in 2004. There was an outturn of just 396 bottles, all boasting a tasty 46% ABV.
Tart pink grapefruit and drizzles of honey are tempered by cut grass and warm spices.
Through oily malt comes earthy vanilla, squeezes of lemon juice and a touch of tobacco.
The citrus persists through a medium length finish, but is tastefully maintained by woody spice.
