Tasting Notes

About:

55.4% abv/100.8 proof, distilled in 1975, bottled in 2012, in 2019 ~$349 US, 750 ml, Cask #3413, non-chill filtered, natural color
Appearance:
You’ll find it in a clear classic Speyburn shaped bottle. The sherry cask and age truly created a rich dark copper color.
Nose:
Warm, rich sweet aroma of medium intensity.
Palate:
The mouthfeel is rich, dark and medium to thick. Pronounced sherry, cherry, vanilla, and spice flavors wake up your palate. The following sips reveal the gentler hints of nuts and pineapple.
Finish:
Comments:
It’s delicious, if you can get your hands on it. But alas, that is the hard thing about single releases.
