Andrew's Tasting Note
Nose: silky, fruity, dried apricots and poached pear, peaches in cream with clotted cream on dry British scones; floral, pear eau de vie and green oak.
Palate: very creamy, floral and perfumed, loads of pear eau de vie, waxed oak pews and more peaches in cream; the oak is firm but balanced, more clotted cream wit olive oil and sage.
Finish: medium light and elegant, more olive oil, sage and floral tones; stays floral, perfumed, creamy and waxy.
Comment: one of the most intensely perfumed and floral malts I've ever come across; maybe substitute with gin in your next gin and tonic!

Wilson & Morgan Bunnahabhain 23 Year
$283.49
Bottled at 47.7% after 23 years from a single Px Sherry Finished cask filled in 1991. Only 6 bottles coming to KWM.
Producer Description: “A particularly complex and refined Bunnahabhain, one of the most delicately aromatic ones that we have released. The nose is gentle and flowery, with no obvious sherry influence: ripe pears, apples, aniseed. At the palate it’s firm, mineral, with notes of candied orange rind and again aniseed. The tannins from the oak are gentle, well tamed by honeyed and flowery notes (chamomile). It’s not a weak mouthfeel at all, but it’s caressing. Towards the end a peppery note starts to build up, and it lingers for a while on the tongue for a warm and tingling finale. A nice example of a subtle finish in a type of cask which sometimes can be overpowering, but as usual the trick lies in moderation.
Wilson & Morgan Glenrothes 18 Year
$188.99
Only 6 bottles of this independently bottled Glenrothes are coming to KWM. Bottled at 18 years and 58.2% after finishing in a PX Sherry cask.
Producer Description: “It is quite customary to see Glenrothes aged in Oloroso sherry casks, which give it a typically dry profile. Aiming at a softer and fruitier style, we chose to transfer these two casks into a Pedro Ximenez barrel (albeit a second fill one) for 28 months. The result actually tastes not like PX, but rather like a big and juicier Oloroso, which is what we had in mind. At the nose it is soft and only slightly winey, with a hint of mustiness, while the palate is defined by a huge fruity sherry: succulent, with a touch of cinnamon and toasted notes but also clean and not cloying at all. Only in the end a tannic character starts to develop, without ever betraying the warm softness.”
Wilson & Morgan Mortlach 18 Year
$188.99
An independently bottled Mortlach at 18 years and 56.9%, distilled in 1997 and bottled by Wilson & Morgan after finishing in Marsala wine casks. Only 6 bottles are coming to KWM!
Producer Description: “Mortlach is a very masculine spirit, and 18 months in a Marsala cask added just the right amount of complexity without overwhelming the whisky, which maintains unmistakable traits of this unique distillery. At the nose it’s rather restrained, with a dry character and an only slightly nutty hint, but it’s at the palate that it explodes with the typical Mortlach style. Firm, bold, mineral, with an explosive crescendo of beeswax and even a hint of peaty smokiness that become more evident with a drop of water, it then gradually evolves into a dry nutty style which betrays the Marsala influence. The finale is peppery and grows more astringent, but still retaining an obvious Mortlach character. Robust and elegant at the same time.”
