Tasting Notes
Imagine the aroma of coffee grounds mingling with the scent of a seaside bonfire, complemented by grilled stone fruits, dates, and a dark, sticky caramel sweetness. This Islay Single Malt 29 Year Old Oloroso Cask Finish is a true masterpiece. On the palate, sweet, stewed stone fruits dance alongside tangy dark berries, while waves of dense, tarry smoke embrace salted dark chocolate notes. The finish is a tantalizing tangle of sweetness and smoke, with tinned peaches, hefty ashen smoke, and charred oak notes lingering on the senses. Matured for a generous 29 years, including a finish in a custom-made oloroso sherry octave cask, this whisky from an undisclosed Islay distillery is a true testament to the art of cask finishing, bringing rich notes of dates, stewed fruits, and tinned peaches to the coastal, tarry smoke at its core.
