SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE

This 13 year old Orcadian dram is from a First Fill Barrel at 61.2%.

Panel's Tasting Note: "Where do we start - sweet like an apple flan or a Garibaldi biscuit or heather honey, savoury like roasted tomatoes with basil or a Miso soup or Bovril. At the same time briny, smoky, sooty and ashy with perfume notes of exotic cedar. The taste is a mouthwatering mixture of toasted peanuts, treacle tart with clotted cream and a balsamic tahini dressing over a salad with toasted sesame seeds. Water adds maritime aromas of fish boxes, driftwood and seaweed as well as sea salted dark chocolate and berry Pavlova topped with vanilla whipped cream. The taste is now burnt toast with salted butter and marmalade as well as garlic Indian Naan bread."

Drinking Tip: "Before, during and after a barbecue on the beach."
