Cask No. 7.77 Elegant ladies taking tea

22 years old; refill barrel; 54.8%abv

The nose was attractive and evocative – ladies’ perfume, soft leather, raincoats, mint. The palate was absolutely fabulous! Big fruit flavours (apple, raspberry, pomegranate) swirled around with perfume, leather, oak, coconut meringue and mint leaf – elegant and delightful.

Cask No. 3.193 Baby-faced arsonist

14 years old; refill sherry butt; 57.7%abv

‘Sweet,’ ‘salty,’ ‘resinous’ – some of the Panel’s utterances on first nosing; far-away fish smokehouses, sweet barbecue sauce on baby-back ribs. The taste was full-on – ashy, smoked fish, crispy seaweed, earthy, salted caramels, sticky ribs.
