Description

An intriguing melange of aromas excited the Panel. The scent of sandalwood and cedar was joined by well-brushed leather boots, tobacco and aged plum brandy. On the palate we found layer upon layer of dark fruits such as blackcurrants and blackberries spiced with a chilli jam of cloves, ginger, star anise and demerara sugar. Following a drop of water we were served a slice of toasted stollen with butterscotch sauce next to spiced sultana griddle scones. To taste, damson and sloe gin jam accompanied maple syrup on thick American pancakes. Following 28 years in an ex-oloroso butt, we transferred this whisky into a first fill Spanish oak PX butt.
