Coopers Choice Lochside 48 Year

This item is archived.

This very rare single grain is exclusive to KWM, with just 30 bottles coming into Alberta. It is a stunner and in just a few short days the first 1/3 has already sold! Bottled at a cask strength of 41.2%, 540 bottles were produced from a sherry butt cask 6799. 

Andrew's Tasting Note

Nose: silky oils, floral vanilla, jujubes, creme brule, caramel corn and soft earthy leather; chocolate and orange marzipan, English marmalade and clotted cream on day old scones.

Palate:very soft, silky, seductive and fruity; more jujubes, molten brown sugar, creme brule and double caramel corn; soft leather and gentle earthy notes, more marzipan, chocolate and orange; the whisky is layered, old and complex, some developing spices, but nothing over the top.

Finish: long, fruity and smooth; soft leather, fading sherry notes and spices.

Comment: this is a dangerously tasty whisky, and way to easy drinking; it won't last long on our shelf or in your bottle; it is also far from over the hill, surprisingly lithe and lively for its age.
