ASIAN-STYLE BARBECUE

This 11 year old from the Highland Islands, comes in at 64.2% after maturing in a refill hogshead.

Flavour profile:  Lightly peated.

Outturn:  300 bottles.

Panel's tasting note:  "This seemed to be a dram for all sorts of situations:  someone opened a first aid kit on a tractor, another installed a new inner tube in a bicycle tire whilst yet another dug deep into a peat bog searching for buried bog-wood to make an artistic sculpture. Thankfully we all agreed on the palate; chewy, crispy yummy like Chinese style barbecued pork known as Char Siu, braised with a mixture of oyster sauce, soy sauce, red onions, garlic and red fermented tofu. Water added the smoky/fishy aroma of char-grilled Thai-spiced tuna which was also apparent on the taste with the addition of Jasmine flavoured rice."
