A CONTINUOUS SNOW-FALL OF CURIOSITIES

A 19 year old Speysider from a refill sherry butt at 59.3%

Flavour profile:  Spicy & dry

Outturn:  540 bottles

Panel's tasting note: "The nose spread a smear of sweetness (Danish pastries, Victoria sponge, Wagon Wheels) textured by a continuous snow-fall of curiosities – aniseed, Kummel, grappa, sandalwood, conifers, grass, leather, raisins, pineapple and sherry – complex and intriguing. Adding water brought out the fruitiness – strawberry, pear, kiwi and tinned fruit cocktail. The palate, though big and hot, had sweet juicy fruits and a succession of mouth-watering flavours– apple skins, blackcurrant Starburst in waxed paper and eggcustard tart. The heat came from ginger, nutmeg and pepper spice, but (especially with water) this was a refreshing, smooth and enjoyable dram from the first of Dufftown’s seven stills."

Drinking tip: "To get the juices flowing on a Sunday afternoon"
