11 years old; 1st fill oloroso ex-bodega butt; 66%; Speyside
Opening a new library book we found a hidden compartment stuffed with cinder toffee, waxy honeycomb pieces, and fig rolls wrapped in paper decorated with calligraphy ink. The palate was well rounded, a smooth and sweet lavender, honey, nutmeg and raisin purée, with marmalade atop custard tarts.
Water offered peach cobbler and Dundee cake on the nose, while the palate gifted sultanas, lavender popcorn and cask char. After six years in a refill oloroso butt, we transferred this to a 1st fill ex-bodega oloroso butt for the remainder of its maturation.
