This twelve-year-old single malt first matured for eight years in American white oak ex-Bourbon barrels, then for four years in rare Palo Cortado sherry casks. It is the third release in the Barrel Select Release, a small-batch series for which Dr Bill Lumsden selected casks. Distilled in early August 2010 and bottled on 25 August 2022 at 46%, it is chill-filtered and contains no colouring. Dark plum, milk chocolate, Brazil nut and sweet spices form its characteristic sensory focus. The 700ml bottle is presented without packaging.
Tasting Notes
Toffee, fudge and vanilla combine with mossy notes and a hint of mulled wine; then honeyed ginger and milk chocolate truffles with cinnamon, with orange sherbet powder, garden cloves and Brazil nuts with water.
The mouthfeel is oily yet peppery; toffee with dark syrup and milk chocolate meet clove, ginger, cinnamon and nutmeg, with raisins, dark plums and bitter orange accompanied by rye bread and salted nuts.
Long and nutty, with spice, leather and a fine anise note.
