Bourbon
Joining the inaugural release of the Middle Cut collection from Dramfool, an impressive single grain Scotch from Invergordon. Distilled in 1988, the whisky matured for a generous 35 years in a bourbon barrel, yielding a total outturn of 154 bottles.
Fragrant, friendly & sweet on every pass. It offers scents of honey, biscuits, spice, toasted oak & a drift of Bourbon plus a lot of soft fruits. Sweet dry cereal notes rise in harmony with the influence of the oak and just a whisper of spice from the bourbon that first filled the cask. It’s a super-smooth, clean, elegant and complex spirit. With the cereal sweetness shining through, the cask has produced a halo in which the spirit has travelled well and it’s still as fresh as a daisy - amazing!!
Absolutely divine, for a spirit of this age it’s outstanding, smooth, mellow, fresh, sweet & spicy. The mouthfeel is something special, and just to add to the flavour there still lingers a tiny hint of bourbon which is amazing! At this 55.4% it’s stunning, no water required. Just roll back the years and let the spirit tell you that you deserve to sometimes walk on the wild side!!
The texture is beyond belief. It’s a wonderful, delightful spirit and its journey began three decades ago! What a privilege to share such a fabulous creation for some moments in time.
