The Exceptional Malt - 2nd Edition
Sutcliffe & Son
Tasting Notes
From the first whiff, an enticing aroma of savory meatiness mingles with the sweet nostalgia of Dolly mixture candies, complemented by subtle toasty notes that momentarily hint at a peaty undertone. As the aroma unfolds, rich swathes of brandy butter intertwine with the zesty fragrance of orange peel and the luscious sweetness of dried fruits. On the palate, a velvety texture caresses the senses with nutty undertones, reminiscent of peanut skins, and a hint of corn adds complexity. Anise spice weaves its way through the experience, accompanied by the warmth of gingerbread. As the flavors linger, the finish evolves into a medley of mixed nuts, leaving a delightfully dry and lip-smacking sensation, before tangy red berries make a final appearance. This exceptional blended malt whisky is a harmonious blend of renowned distilleries like Glenfarclas, Ben Nevis, Allt-á-Bhainne, Auchroisk, Glenallachie, Westport, Speyside, and Macallan, masterfully finished in first-fill Oloroso Sherry casks by Sutcliffe & Sons.
