A single malt from Michel Couvreur, whose whiskies are sent over from Scotland to be matured in cellars in Burgundy using Sherry oak casks. Couvreur was a big believer in oak playing the biggest part in a whisky's flavour, favouring Sherry oak casks. This expression is well-Sherried indeed, with a lively floral character deeper within - perhaps this is where the "Blossoming" in its name comes from.
Opens with the aroma of maple syrup pancakes, giving way to rich black cherries, cloves, bread-and-butter pudding and treacle. Apple blossom and roast pork hints sneak in, too.
A warm, velvety and opulent mouthfeel with notes of Christmas cake, raisin, cinnamon stick and dried orange peel.
Long, rich and intense - the Christmas cake continues, with vanilla custard bringing a lighter sweetness in at the very end.
A triumphant Sherry bomb single malt.

The best whisky I’ve ever tasted. In 30 years of tasting whisky from all over the world this beats them all. Once opened, a bottle will not last long. A velvety smoothness and mellow taste makes this a very moreish dram. Expensive but worth every penny.
Came across the overaged while out of town,Wow this was different ran through my brain.Did research,found about the Blossoming,1 store here(West Canada)had a few if them.Picked 1 up and was blown away with the dark fruits,leather/tobacco notes and that floral bouquet is like walking into a flower shop full of Roses.Great stuff,I went back and bought the remaining 4 bottles???. Cheers
Stumbled across Whisky for Life almost by accident. Best thing that ever happened to discover Blossoming Auld Sherried. I’m a dedicated McCallan fan but this is the finest I’ve ever tasted. Just wish I could buy it here.
Fabulous
Nose is powerful, first taste is smooth & sweet, very flavorful, punch comes after a few seconds and then those flavors linger till the last thing you taste a fig jam flavor.
