Miltonduff – 13 Years Old 1st-fill Amontillado Barrique Permutations Series IV (70cl, 59.8%)

A 13-year-old Miltonduff single malt from Scotland, bottled at a cask strength of 59.8%. It is one of 85 bottles from a single cask, in a 70cl bottle. The whisky began in a refill bourbon hogshead and was then finished for 12 months in a first-fill Amontillado sherry barrique. It opens Series IV of Permutations, and the artwork, by Scottish artist Orla Stevens, shows the Birnie Symbol Stone, a 7th century Pictish stone a few miles from the distillery. The finish is described as layers of stewed fruit and brown sugar that fade away slowly.
