The Exceptional Malt - 2nd Edition
Glenfarclas, Ben Nevis, Allt-á-Bhainne, Auchroisk, Glenallachie, Westport, Speyside, Macallan and more were used in this fine blended malt whisky, finished in first fill Oloroso Sherry casks by Sutcliffe & Sons.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Pleasantly meaty at first with Dolly mixture, touches of toastiness (almost peaty for a moment) then into swathes of brandy butter. Orange peel and sweet dried fruit develop.
Palate
Thick and nutty. Peanut skins and some corn notes too with anise spice throughout and gingerbread also.
Finish
Into mixed nuts now, slightly dry and lip smacking before red berries linger.
Overall
Plenty of tasty nutty Oloroso influence here with the malt doing its best work on the nose.
