An indie Imperial single malt - yet another exciting release from the stunning Single Malts of Scotland bottling range.
This one was distilled in April 1997 and aged in a bourbon barrel for 21 years, before being bottled in June 2018.
Twenty one years of maturation in a bourbon barrel have created this fruity and floral gentle dram, with helpings of cream and freshly cut grass.
This is one of 193 bottles of whisky from this sadly departed distillery.
Nose: Wonderfully light and floral with orange blossom and freshly cut grass leading to some riper, rich aromas of fresh peaches and vanilla cream.
Palate: Gentle at first with a light texture and flavours of fragrant spring flowers, honeysuckle and orange blossom water developing into richer, creamier notes of vanilla ice-cream, clove and fresh plums.
Finish: The sweet vanilla cream lingers before developing into a drier finish with a touch of zesty lemon.
