J.K. ROWLING MEETS C.S. LEWIS: This 9 year old Speysider is 58.4% after maturing in a "Medium Toast Light Char Hogshead" (say that 10x fast!). "The velvety smooth, rich palate had flavours of Armagnac, fragrant wood, marmalade and sultanas – elegant but muscular."

A DELIGHTFULLY DULCET DELICIOSITY: A 28 year from the Ballidalloch Estate in the Speyside at 53.3% after maturing in a Refill Hogshead. "The palate was a delightfully dulcet deliciosity with wow-ously warming woody spices – we tasted dried cranberries, peach stone, roast pumpkin, IRN-BRU, carrot cake and teasingly tannic after-tingles of walnut, leather and wood."

Panel's Tasting Note: "Following a scant scintilla of paint, the nose became a profusion of tropical fruits (banana, mango, piña colada, plum, orange) with dark chocolate-covered raisins, toffee, Demerara, Jamaican ginger cake and deep woody resonances (dunnage, polished furniture, tea chests, autumn leaves). The palate was a delightfully dulcet deliciosity with wow-ously warming woody spices – we tasted dried cranberries, peach stone, roast pumpkin, IRN-BRU, carrot cake and teasingly tannic after-tingles of walnut, leather and wood. The reduced nose had us imagining an after-hunt dram in a stately home, while the palate discovered star-fruit, grapefruit and gummi bears. From a family-owned distillery near Marypark."

Drinking Tip: "A dram to pour when you have plenty of time to let it develop and unfold."

A CONTINUOUS SNOW-FALL OF CURIOSITIES

A 19 year old Speysider from a refill sherry butt at 59.3%

Flavour profile:  Spicy & dry

Outturn:  540 bottles

Panel's tasting note: "The nose spread a smear of sweetness (Danish pastries, Victoria sponge, Wagon Wheels) textured by a continuous snow-fall of curiosities – aniseed, Kummel, grappa, sandalwood, conifers, grass, leather, raisins, pineapple and sherry – complex and intriguing. Adding water brought out the fruitiness – strawberry, pear, kiwi and tinned fruit cocktail. The palate, though big and hot, had sweet juicy fruits and a succession of mouth-watering flavours– apple skins, blackcurrant Starburst in waxed paper and eggcustard tart. The heat came from ginger, nutmeg and pepper spice, but (especially with water) this was a refreshing, smooth and enjoyable dram from the first of Dufftown’s seven stills."

Drinking tip: "To get the juices flowing on a Sunday afternoon"

FLYING SAUCERS AND OCTOPUS BALLS: A 9 year old Ileach at an eye-watering 63.2% after referring in a Bourbon Barrel. "The palate did not disappoint – a lively, stimulating, crashing wave of taste – smoke, brine, ash, prawn tempura, Cullen Skink and takoyaki (octopus balls)."

BUTTERCUPS, BOTHIES & BBQS: An impressive Ileach at 60.6% after maturing in a Refill Barrel for 17 years. "The taste was quite smoky and foody, with seriously caramelized onions shovelled on a mustardy hot dog – also tar, ash, lavender and coal."

Andrew's Tasting Note:

"Nose: very candied and fruity: Christmas cake, candied orange, raisins, dates and chocolate; some leather and jammy fruits; becomes fruitier and more decadent as it opens up, with a base of cream.

Palate: right off the bat it comes in waves: first the spice, then a blast of fruit, next the creamy oak and then a final surge of all three together; more Christmas cake notes, candied orange and ginger with some leather and red berry jams; mango chuntey and softer melon-like notes develop with time alongside heather honey.

Finish: the fruity notes last longest with creamy oak and honey providing the backbone; in the distance the tingling decadent spices chatter away.”
