SPICE CANNON
The lastest in the Society's blended malt range, this includes whiskies from Speyside & the Highlands, matured in Oloroso & Pedro Ximenez sherry casks coopered from both Spanish & American oak, and is bottled at 50%.
Flavour profile: Spicy & sweet.
Outturn: 1496 bottles.
Panel's tasting note: "Freshly baked apple pie arrived with a heavy dusting of cinnamon and nutmeg, while the dark intentions of demerara-coated walnuts and macadamias bathed in a spicy fruitcake mix. Then a burst of oils from singed orange skin introduced marmalade and black cherries as we ventured into a palate of rich spice. Marzipan and almonds now merged with dark chocolate as raisins and liquorice complemented hazelnut liqueur in hot cocoa.
A dash of water opened a big butt of sherry infused fruit that combined oxidized apples and pears with rhubarb crumble and sultanas. Chocolate truffles and praline gathered around ginger bread on the finish before leaving us with pink grapefruit and cloves."
