Notes
Cask No. 2.108
‘The King o’ Malts’
Speyside, Spey
Bottle selected by world-renowned Scottish whisky expert and writer Charlie MacLean*
Gold with copper lights. A complex aroma, at once fruity (Soor Ploom sweets, hard pears, dried orange peel), faintly vinous (an empty dry sherry decanter) and nose-drying (a dusty desk drawer). A drop of water enhances the sweeter elements in the aroma and introduces suggestions of barley sugar and orange-flavoured boiled sweets, but still on a dry base (river bank mud). The texture is oily, the taste sweet throughout, with traces of tablet and some gingery spice in the fragrant finish.
