This Speyside distillery’s history with sherry maturation dates back all the way to 1898. Matured in a first-fill Oloroso butt, this bottling took the panel to an old library’s repository - ink, leather, waxed twine, burnt ciabatta toast, brandy snap, Chantilly cream, strong black tea and a lick of calligraphy ink stick.

Tasting Panel Notes

Imagine nosing an old library book, surrounded by the unique airborne flora from deep within the archives. Ink, leather, waxed twine, unsmoked bacon butties and strong builder's tea mingled too. The palate was a handful of raisins, a lick of a calligraphy ink stick, red grapes dipped in warm treacle and burnt ciabatta toast. Water stuffed toffee and set honey into a brandy snap, topped with chantilly cream, on the nose while the palate featured a splash of red ale, apple sauce and pine nuts.
