Bourbon
28-year-old single malt from the marvellous Miltonduff folks, aged in a single bourbon hogshead and bottled by our fair hands for our Single Cask Series! This was distilled in October 1988 and bottled in April 2017 with no chill-filtration or additional colours, presented at cask strength.
Lots of fruit: apple strudel, Kelloggs Fruit & Nut cereal, pineapple and grapefruit. It’s also quite green, with aromas of freshly cut grass, moss and a handful of herbs. Chuck in some Bakewell Tarts for good measure, too.
It’s really quite hoppy with a pleasingly soft mouthfeel lifted by a little fresh chilli prickle. There’s also orchard fruits, cashew nuts, a mineral quality and the impression of menthol.
Soft and gentle with more orchard fruits, pepped up with the chilli warmth.
A lovely autumnal dram.
