Sherry
The fourth and final 2017 release from Douglas Laing's Old Particular Consortium of Cards series is The Ace of Spades (because of course it had to be!). It's a 13 year old single malt from the Beast of Dufftown - Mortlach. Distilled in January 2004, it was finishing in a Sherry butt and bottled in November 2017, with an outturn of just 521 bottles.
Cinnamon-dusted plums, stewed pears and a subtle hint of meaty malt that Mortlach is well-known for.
Chewy date, oily walnuts and a hint of brandy-filled chocolates.
Raisins, dried orange peel and lingering toasted barley.
