ADD A LITTLE SPICE!

After 11 years in an ex-bourbon hogshead this Speysider was finished in a virgin oak hogshead with a heavy toast and a medium char, and comes in at 57.6%.

Flavour profile:  Spicy & dry.

Outturn:  270 bottles.

Panel's tasting note:  "The nose neat had plenty of foodie associations; honey, orange and thyme glazed duck breast, steak cooked in Chinese Five spice powder with plum sauce and sweet mangos in fragrant steamed rice. The taste delivered the drinks; cocktail of green ginger wine and whisky, warm spiced pomegranate orange juice and dry Sercial Madeira wine. Diluted, an almond apricot cake and a sweet creamy Sherry trifle appeared and on the taste a Masala chai spiced tea with almond milk and fresh ginger. Eleven years in an ex-bourbon hogshead, finished in a virgin oak hogshead with a heavy toast and a medium char."

Drinking tip:  "After a round of golf"
