Cask No. 105.18 Deep, rich & dried fruits

A dram for Santa

sold out

Chocolate-coated nougat on the hands. Rich and mellow: dark chocolate with orange zest; German ginger cake with cinnamon, nutmeg and Macademia nuts; traces of stem ginger and chocolate-covered cherries and baked bananas. A thick mouthfeel, voluptuous and rich; sweet with crème brulée and an aftertaste of burnt sugar and lingering ginger. We added water reluctantly (be careful), and it raised waxy oranges, sandalwood, currants and walnuts on the nose and a spicy, gingery taste, with burnt marzipan and Macademia nuts. From the first distillery built on Speyside in the 20th Century, designed by the President of the Royal Academy.
