Color

Deep gold

Nose

Again a somewhat weird nose, I must say. Loads of earth, new leather and something sourish that overpower the fruit, that is composed of baked apples and apricot jelly. A bit of choclate too. Stuck matches! Woodspice. I am not too fond of this.

Taste

Wonderfully creamy and full with loads of sweetness up front (toffee, oranges liqueur, mirabelles), but again the earth theme is revealed prominently. Dirty egde.

Finish

The finish is long, spicy and remains sweet.

Comments

Reminds me of a crossover between Bénédictine and Cointreau, but with a handful of mud thrown in. Not really my cup of malt.

From the bottle:

76.83 Cocktails after Rugby
The nose combines barley sugar and honey with Hendrick`s gin cocktails in a rugby changing room (leather, mud). Water evokes chocolate, baked apples and matchboxes. The palate, offering leather, wood, tobacco, toffee and coffee creams, is surprisingly light and joyous.

Age: 15 years. Cask type: First-fill ex-sherry butt. Whisky Region: Speyside Spey
