JAM MAKING AND HARVESTED FIELDS

This 13 year old Speysider is from a Refill Hogshead cask bottled at 57.6%.

Panel's Tasting Note: "The nose was buttery (buttered toast, croissants, bread and butter pudding) with raisins, baked apples, custard, new-made jam and mixed spice. The unreduced palate was big and full-bodied with lasting heat – the flavours included intense fruit and vanilla, poached pears with soft cinnamon spice and syrup and slightly burnt pastries with currants. Water accentuated the jam tarts (with icing sugar) on the nose and introduced an earthy note. The reduced palate, still rich and substantial, evoked a jam maker's kitchen, fresh sourdough bread and the comforting glow of autumn sunshine on harvested fields. From the first distillery established in Rothes."

Drinking Tip: "A kitchen dram - or to evoke childhood autumn days."
