A rare bottling from the now discontinued, and beautifully packaged, Flora and Fauna range. This 12 year old was distilled at the Speyside based Strathmill distillery.
The nose is quite soft yet very fruity. A hint of grassy greenness with a nuttiness, there are notes of cut herbs and apples, hints of cut hay. The palate is silken smooth in delivery. Notes of winter spice and vanilla custard, there is a nutty oiliness which carries everything gentle. The finish is soft and slightly herbal with a peppered delivery.
For fans of Glenfiddich that want a little something else. Smooth and fragrant. Drink neat and it improves further as it warms.
Thanks to the recommendations at 1806
a fantastic Whisky, light, delicate and smooth with subtle botanical notes, beautiful fruity nose.
