The folks at Forgotten Gems know a good whisky when they find one, and with the precision of a squirrel foraging for the acorns it buried last autumn, they hunt down precious spirits hidden at the back of warehouses and blending rooms to bottle up for us all to enjoy! This is a glorious 36-year-old blended grain Scotch whisky, married in an ex-bourbon barrel, and a release of 117 bottles.
Buttered corn, peanut brittle, and polished furniture open the way for robust oak, a touch of caramel, vanilla, and cooking apples, then drying notes of cinder toffee and roasted almonds.
Sweet and spicy, with layers of silky toffee, a tickle of clove and warming cinnamon, vanilla cream, and buttery flapjack. A touch of root ginger nestles beneath, joined by crumbly fudge and bold old oak.
Stewed apples, woody spice, butter biscuits, a touch of flaked chilli, and satisfying oaken warmth.
