Time was we used be to able to get as much of this as we wanted... times have changed. Only 6 bottles coming to KWM. 45%.
Producer Description: "This single malt is the result of vatting together a few casks and illustrates very well the diversity and richness of whiskies coming from the Yoichi distillery. It is massively fruity, floral and deep!"
Distiller's Tasting Note
Nose: fresh and sweet. Subtle fruit notes (white peach skin) are very much in evidence, against a background of oily peat. An air of lovely sweetness emerges in which dried fruit (pecan nut), varnish and dried grass (hay and tobacco leaf) notes mingle.
Palate: rich and oily. Bitter-sweet notes (barley sugar and iodine) spring to mlind with remarkable precision. Soft, with flowers, minty aniseed, spices (clove and pepper) and chocolate all developing.
Finish: elegant, with chocolate (bitter chocolate and moccha), coffee and citrus fruit notes all arising. The retro-olfaction carries on, with notes of fresh fruit (white peach)."
Dalmore Aurora 45 Year
$3,229.19
Only 200 bottles released from this 1964 bottling from an Oloroso sherry cask and bottled at 45%. The inspiration for this bottling is said to be the Aurora Borealis. Richard Patterson's Tasting Note: ""A dynamic fusion of aromas of blood oranges, crushed apples and pear, and hints of Bulgarian roses, jasmine and coriander. A heart of ripe mandarins, kumquats and pineapple is intertwined with highlights of Madagascan vanilla, creamy caramel and darkest Swiss chocolate."
Adelphi Lochside 1965 47 Year
$361.79
This unusual whisky is well priced for its age, and a single blend, meaning the malt and grain spirit were married before going into the cask. After 47 years in a sherry butt, it is an impressive dram.

COCKTAILS AFTER RUGBY
A 15 year old from the Spey Valley bottled at 57.1% from a First Fill Sherry Butt.
Panel's Tasting Note: "Lemon and sweet cucumber on the nose, reminded the Tour-guide of Hendrick's gin cocktails, while someone else identified mud and leather, suggestive of a rugby club changing room; sweet notes of Demerara, barley sugar and honey developed all the while. Leather and wood impressions on the palate mingled with mint and violets, light toffee, syrup and coffee creams. In reduction, the nose had chocolate and crème caramel, baked apple with brown sugar and raisins plus an intimation of matchboxes. The palate, with orange, fig, tobacco and beeswax was surprisingly light and joyous. From the earliest Dufftown distillery to be licensed."
Drinking Tip: "While watching rugby, or whenever tempted to drink gin."

UNUSUAL AND HIGHLY ENJOYABLE
This Southern Highlander was matured 10 years in a Refill Port Pipe, and has been bottled at 59.6%.
Panel's Tasting Note: "We encountered a totally magnificent nose – plentiful plum jam, candy floss, toffee crisp, fudge, jammy dodgers and port wine, but with deeper layers of tobacco, liquorice and Eastern spices. The palate had slightly burnt damson jam, fruity toffee, fruit chutney and fig rolls – teasingly tannic, mildly minerally and vaguely sulphury, but acceptably so. The reduced nose uncovered ripe watermelon, fruit pastilles, wine gums, icing sugar, sweet sultanas and blackcurrant yoghurt. Adding water transformed the palate into a complete joy – strawberry toffees, Astro Belts, fruity tobacco – unusual and highly enjoyable. The distillery is very near the West Highland Way (south end)."
Drinking Tip: "A dram for chatting up strawberry blondes."
