Single Malts of Scotland, A Marriage of Casks, Speyside 25yo 700ml

This is a marriage of whiskies distilled at the Speyside Distillery in 1996 and matured in just three ex-bourbon barrels, which yielded a total of 780 bottles.

This bottling represents some of the oldest stock from this distillery, as production only began in 1990.

The taste is reminiscent of a basket of rich, sweet, freshly made pastries with citrus and tropical fruits.

Region: Speyside

 ABV 52.6%

Tasting Notes:

Nose: Soft orchard fruit is joined by gently contrasting hints of citrus: baked apples and ripe pears with a squeeze of lemon and a spoon of marmalade.

Grassiness follows, run through with fragrant mint leaves and balanced by juicy nectarine and wax-polished oak.

Palate: Sweet and fruity with underlying layers of spice. Baked apple with cinnamon is contrasted against creamy lemon tarts, buttery pastry and cooling mint fondant.

A hint of char and oak hides under unripe mango and pineapple.

Finish: Pineapple becomes apple as char fades and soft spice lingers.
