FLOWERS ON THE BREAKFAST TABLE

This 8 year old from Rothes' oldest distillery was filled from a First Fill Barrel at 60.9%.

Panel's Tasting Note: "The classic ex-bourbon nose gave sticky toffee pudding, sherbet lemons, flowers, pineapple, popcorn, coconut, pistachios, sultanas and bread and butter pudding. The palate was mouth-filling and well-rounded, with flavours of cedar, exotic fruits, mint sprigs and intense floral notes ('like munching flowers from a vase') – then peach stones and plum skins in the after-taste. The reduced nose had more cereal – Alpen with dried fruits and brown sugar, Weetabix with honey; waxed furniture, rose, mango, orange and peach. The reduced palate was complex and refreshing – juicy raisins, Turkish delight (rose and lemon), white pepper and Nuttal's Mintoes. From Rothes' oldest distillery."

Drinking Tip: "On a summer picnic with a sweetheart."
