GIRLIE HOLIDAY BREAKFAST DRAM

At 9 years old, this Speysider from a 1st fill white wine hogshead is at 59.8%.

Flavour profile:  Deep, rich & dried fruits

Outturn:  273 bottles

Panel's tasting note:  "Some described this as a feminine nose – pot-pourri, tanning lotion, cocoa-butter, orange-scented candles, honey-nut      cornflakes, pancakes and mimosa – perhaps a girlie holiday breakfast dram? Nothing feminine about the palate though – this was a big hitter! – burnt toffee, black bun, treacle scones, caramelized nuts, Jamaica cake, muscovado and rendang sauce – spicy, fruity and darkly sweet. The reduced nose turned to cinder toffee, pencil boxes, Maya Gold chocolate and jelly babies – plus the girls had now been in for a swim. The palate – mmm – coffee creams, sticky toffee pudding, chocolate-coated raisins – delish! The distillery, ironically, has connections with monks."

Drinking tip:  "To go with dessert, or instead of dessert; or to get into the holiday mood"
