Balmenach 24 Year Old - Wormtub Single Cask
The endangered species that is the worm tub condenser is celebrated here in all its glory! This single malt from Speyside's Balmenach joins the limited-edition Single Cask series from Wormtub Whisky, celebrating the handful of Scotch distilleries that still use the rather old-school (and rather brilliant) bit of kit. The whisky spent 24 years maturing in an oloroso sherry butt, yielding an outturn of 309 cask-strength bottles.
Worm tubs are prized for the distinctive, heavy, robust flavour profiles they can achieve. Coupled with generous ageing, as we see here, truly wonderful things happen.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Green apples, condensed milk, and creamy grist, with notes of browned butter and vanilla fudge in tow. Mellow oak and drying hay bring depth and complexity, with rice pudding, and robust, tangy candied fruit.
Palate
Superbly characterful and vibrant, with juicy, creamy malt, tangerine, and caramelised tropical fruits, toffee popcorn, and elegant old oak. Estery fruit leads to delicate pepper and nutmeg warmth.
Finish
Sweet toffee and barley sugar tangle with notes of peppercorn salami, with plum jam and perhaps even a touch of mature cheese, while caramel, milk chocolate, and charred oak stand firm.
