Wonderful, wonderful Wormtub Whisky! Worm tubs hark back to the days of old, you don't see many of them around in modern-day distilleries but thankfully a few have retained these old-school bits of condensing kit, favouring the robust, heavy whiskies that they help to produce. This is a single cask batch of Wormtub 12 Year Old, a splendid Speyside single malt that finished its maturation in a first-fill oloroso sherry hogshead and bottled at cask strength, without added colour or chill filtration.
Big, bold sherry character shines, with juicy sultanas, candied orange wheels, and sweetly spiced fruit loaf.
Roasted, candied walnuts and oily malt lead to meaty notes of spiced biltong, rich oak, and sherry-soaked dried fruits.
Sherried oak lingers on alongside that meaty, juicy malt, with savoury notes of fennel and spice in tow.

Sherry bomb for sure. The neck pour is hot, but let it sit and the flavors assault you in a good way. A drop of water is warranted for those who don't like the heat. Nice mouthfeel thanks to the worm tub and NCF. I'm on my second bottle of Batch #4. Hopefully the #5 is as good or better.

It’s a nice whisky but I found the 10 year old had more of a rich, sherry hit (and is £25 cheaper).
After the first sip a superb heated glow as it slid into my tum and heady aftertaste.
Really stunning dram. Great price too.
