This 1991 Small Batch bottling has been bottled at 46% after maturing in a very unusual cask, a Bourbon Butt, for 23 years. Exclusive to KWM in Canada, only 18 bottles are coming into the market.
Cadenhead Small Batch whiskies are bottled either as single casks or from very small batches of no more than 4 or 5 casks. Cadenhead established in 1842, is Scotland's oldest independent bottler. Headquartered in Campbeltown, it is today owned by J.A. Mitchell & Co., Springbank Distillery's parrent company. The Cadenhead Small Batch range is exclusive to KWM in Canada.
Producer's Tasting Note
Nose: Dark chocolate; some meatiness along with a good glug of sherry. Bruised bananas; distant smokiness and some maple syrup.
Palate: More chocolate, although softer than on the nose. Cinnamon buns; strawberry yoghurt and pached pears.
Finish: Some soft oaky notes along with red fruits. Faint dunnage warehouse with raspberries and lychees.
Distillery Fact: The distillery closed in 1992 for refurbishment and was re-opened again in 1995, making this some of the first spirit produced post-refurbishment.
