ODE TO AUTUMN: 24 year old Highlander from refill hogshead cask at 52.3%. Only 201 bottles in the outturn!

Panel's Tasting Note: "We were greeted by a dusty, warm and malty aroma - like a hayfield at harvest time on a sunny afternoon, or sanding a wooden floor, or dusting off a Scalextric set not used for a long time and having a first go. In the taste sweet and rich with a herbal and fruity note; Italian biscotti biscuits with hazelnuts and dark cherries as well as aniseed, lemon and orange rind. Adding water, roasted red peppers stuffed with herb couscous accompanied by a salty/tangy ginger and lime dressing and the taste salty and sweet like an olive oil and balsamic bread dip. A unique example from the distillery with a unique cooling system for its spirit still - simply running cold water along the sides."

Drinking Tip: "After enjoying a lovely autumn day."
