ZESTY GINGER LIME COOLER

This 16 year old Speysider was matured in a refill hogshead and bottled at 55.4%

Flavour profile:  Spicy & sweet

Outturn:  248 bottles

Panel's tasting note:  "The initial nose neat has the freshness of green saplings and cut grass soon followed by fruity notes of apricots and peaches. With time deeper aromas of old-fashioned rose water perfume are taking centre stage. The taste starts off similar to the nose; green and grassy, slightly cereal (Weetabix) and then fruity (now apple slices). The medium length finish is refreshing like a ‘Zesty Ginger-Lime Cooler’. With water we are preparing a fruit punch with strawberries, pineapple, peaches and cherries. The taste is now clean and fresh like minty grapefruit sorbet and Jasmine iced tea – a well-balanced sample from the distillery established in 1836 on the Recherlich Farm at Ballindalloch."

Drinking tip:  "Looking at a blue sky and the shapes of white clouds weaving imaginary stories"
