OMC Highland Park Sherry Cask 15 Year

$121.49

My Tasting Note: Nose: fruity, savoury and meaty, but soft; the nose reminds me of figs or dates, filled with blue cheese, wrapped in prosciutto and toasted in a Panini grill; lots of honey, dark candied fruits, emerging dark spices and wood smoke; Palate: wonderful, chewy, sweet, honeyed and balanced with soft smoke; classic Highland Park; the honey is thick, sweet, coating and multilayered, as it tones down woody smoke, spices and soft-chocolaty peat start to emerge; there are some dried dark fruits, nutty sherry notes; and earthy tannins, but the honey rules the day; Finish: drying with dried dark fruits, some licorice, spices and soft earthy smoke; at the very end Jujubes and honey.

O&R Springbank 20 Year

$476.99

Matured in a Refill Hogshead (Sherry Hogshead?) - Only 158 Bottles Filled - Douglas Laing Tasting Note: "The nose opens with a spicy character and runs to ripe banana & oranges plus a vanilla tablet style. The palate is initially dry and spicy then develops to an attractive smoky quality. The spicy character continues on the long finish and now carries a gunpowder tea trait then runs to dry wood and soft leather."

O&R Probably Speyside's Finest 46 Year

$561.14

Matured in a Sherry Butt - Only 143 Bottles Filled - Douglas Laing Tasting Note: "If the colour has not given it away yet, the nose certainly does-distinctively sherried and richly spiced with dried dates, warm toffee and ginger. The palate caries a creamy butterscotch quality infused with a surprisingly fresh orange zesty trait. The finish is long, still spicy plus a sweet hazelnut marzipan character."

SATISFYING SWEET

This 12 year old Speysider is from a First Fill Barrel bottled at 61%.

Panel's Tasting Note: "Powerful sweetness hit the nose to start with. It became set honey, vanilla pods and toffee bonbons and then lavender freshness with herbal notes of thyme and cut grass. To taste it was hot and sweet. The herbal notes were there too along with orange marmalade bitterness, tobacco and cooling menthol eucalyptus. A good length of finish too. With water the aroma becomes sweeter: baking (pastries, cakes & marzipan), sherbet, lemon icing sugar, rhum agricole, but also an earthy note that took us to summer gardens. Water calms down the taste and offers cake mixture dough, sweet tobacco and orange pith in the finish. From the distillery that is the closest to Grantown on Spey."

Drinking Tip: "For when you are in search of satisfaction."

BURNT GRANARY TOAST WITH BRAMBLE JELLY

This 12 year old from the vicinity of Elgin has been matured in a Refill Butt and bottled at 59.4%.

Panel's Tasting Note: "The first notes are typical of ex-sherrywood maturation: lightly sulphury, with struck matches, or as one put it 'home-made egg mayo with granary bread'. The sulphur notes soon blow off, leaving yeasty, sour pumpernickel bread and baked pecan pie. At natural strength the taste is very sweet, burnt and aggressive. Water re-introduces the sulphur notes, which linger behind burnt toast spread with butter and bramble jelly or plum jam, and later treacle toffee. In the mouth, the texture is thick and smooth, the taste very sweet and slightly bitter, with raw brambles and redcurrants."

Drinking Tip: "Strolling in an autumnal orchard."
