This is the first in an annual series of limited edition cask strength releases form Lochlea distillery. Batch number one highlights a combination of first-fill bourbon and oloroso sherry casks for a balanced celebration of all things fruit and spice.
Spiced fruit compote, candied orange, and a touch of tobacco.
Plenty of fruit, with walnut, some cocoa powder, and oaky vanilla.
Sticky toffee and sweet spice.
not quite super yet but at its age, its certainly getting toward the super. nose opens with vanilla and then fruit. taste is hard autmn fruits and a nice bit of sultana, with that maltiness taking it over throat with peppery oak.
