A stunning blended malt Scotch whisky here. We can't tell you where from, because someone's gone and covered up the name of the distillery on the label. OK, that was us, but we still can't tell you precisely what liquid has gone into this exquisite blend. What we can tell you is that it's a teaspooned malt, meaning that the vast majority of the liquid comes from one distillery, with just a splash added from another. It also spent 19 years in refill hogsheads between 1999 and 2018. A release of 88 bottles.
A hearty aroma of aged oak starts things off, with stewed pear drizzled in honey. A hint of orange zest follows, with raisins and dates in tow.
Crunchie bar sweetness with juicy sultanas. Crystalised ginger and pepper, with floral malt and vanilla sticking around.
Peppery, spicy barley calmed by burnt sugar, crumbly fudge, and floral tea.
