A marvellous single malt Scotch from Mannochmore, independently released by Pintail. This one finished its 14-year maturation with a six-month stay in a tokaji aszú sweet Hungarian wine cask, which yielded a total of 289 bottles brimming with delicious citrus, sultana, and stone fruit character.
Honeyed apricot and notes of candied tropical fruit, a touch of pepper, and sweet, biscuity malt.
Zesty orange peels, more sweet stone fruits, and caramel, with soft vanilla cushioning peppery spice.
A touch of herbaceous barley finishes things up, joined by poached apple, chocolate Brazil nut, and baking spice.
