SUMPTUOUS BREAKFAST DRAM: An 11 year Speysider at 59.3% from a First Fill Sherry Butt. "The palate was ultra-rich--extravagantly boasting its showy wealth of burnt fruit cake, coffee grinds, hot-cross buns, cloves, treacle,orange oil and leather."

Panel's Tasting Note: "The nose suggested sumptuous breakfasts – cinnamon toast, marmalade, bran flakes, prunes, coffee, pancakes with syrup,cranberries and Nutella on toasted bagels; beyond breakfast, some nutty sherry, garam masala, Deep Heat and polished oak. The palate was ultra-rich – extravagantly boasting its showy wealth of burnt fruit cake, coffee grinds, hot-cross buns, cloves, treacle,orange oil and leather. The reduced nose introduced menthol and eucalyptus, liquorice and Bombay mix, while the palate acquired a juicier sweetness – Toblerone, kiwi and liquorice and blackcurrant. The distillery, once a brewery, was previously owned by Thorne’s."

Drinking Tip: "After dinner (or with a sumptuous breakfast)"
