Distilled in June 2009, this whisky matured for 14 years in a combination of six bourbon barrels.
This un-chillfiltered release is typical for a North British, and practically oozes that fruit & vanilla flavour profile, with a soft layer of creaminess from the grain components. A great breakfast dram.
Oak Barrel Tasting Notes:
Nose: Toasted coconut, vanilla glaze & creamy malt. Soft, slightly softened orchard fruits & a faint oak spice
Palate: Vanilla slice, subtle oak spice, easy going
Finish:Â Clean and biscuitty, not too long, not too short. Lingering spice
