THIS IS NUTS!: 16 year old Speysider from the town of Rothes matured in a Refill-Sherry Butt and bottled at 57.7%! "A wonderful oily and waxy flavour of chocolate raisins, orange oil, marzipan, almonds and strawberry liqueur."

Panel's Tasting Note: "We were greeted by a sweet and nutty aroma; toffee doughnuts, sticky toffee pudding, fruit and nut fudge and toasted tea cakes. Someone compared the initial taste neat to a bicycle puncture repair kit, but soon to be followed by a wonderful oily and waxy flavour of chocolate raisins, orange oil, marzipan, almonds and strawberry liqueur. With water the nutty notes are jumping out of the glass; Brazil, macadamia, pecan, walnut, hazelnut and dry roasted peanuts, but there is also a sweet and savoury note like oatcakes with liver paté on a raspberry coulis. The taste now dry,chalky and slightly salty with flavours of sour cream pretzels, plum chutney, malt vinegar and in the finish an old Amontillado Sherry."

Drinking Tip: "Ideal with a ploughman’s lunch."
