Bottled for Drinks by the Dram and featuring in their fantastic 2016 Scotch Whisky Advent Calendar, this single cask Speyside malt was bottled at a hearty natural cask strength of 59.9% abv! Distilled in 2009, it was bottled in August 2016.
Brown sugar, damson, tomatoes on the vine and hot cross buns with a very generous helping of dried fruit in the dough. A little fragrant barley and varnished oak in support.
Christmas cake, honey-nut cereal (with milk!) and ginger snaps. Some grilled banana and stroopwafel notes later on, followed by yet more raisins and currants.
Long and rich with layers of honey and ginger. Apples appear much later on the finish.

This is an excellent bottle and worth the asking price. A real naturally produced well aged cask strength sherry monster.
I also got one from the Scotch Whisky Advent Calendar 2016. I have tasted over 70 different whiskys and this was a good surprise. Even the product is quite young, it is amazingly rich and full of aromas. It defitely climbed up to my top 5 whiskys where is e.g. Macallan Rare Cask and Highland park 17 yrs Ice Edition. Excellent product!
This was the first dram in my Scotch Whisky Advent Calendar and I am so pleased. What a great way to start. So many aromas, so many flavors, and you'd never know it is almost 60% ABV. Just wonderful! I'm asking Santa for some of this and a bottle of 105.
