Speyside

Charakteristik: Aroma: Spicy, winey. Dieser Whisky ist eine Sherrybombe, intensiv mit duftenden Aroma, welches man nur schwer in vergleichbaren Abfüllungen, oder ältern Abfüllungen findet.
Im Geschmack nussig, Marzipan, etwas Honig, Orange und Zedernholz. Blumig und frisch im Nachklang. Er ist eine perfekte Ergänzung unter den Wilson & Morgan Abfüllungen. Man könnte meinen es handelt sich um eine Destille aus Craigellachie.

Ausbau: First fill Sherry Wood, Room Sample Casks

Besonderheit: naturtrüb, non chill-filtered, limited edition.
Ein junger Macallan? Es gab eine Abfüllung der Destillerie für Italien, die 8 Jahre alt war. Junger malt ist in Italien sehr gefragt. Von dort haben wir mittlerweile auch die Auskunft was es wirklich ist. Aber das kann wechseln.

"In one of the classic whisky-making regions of Scotland, the barley fields and heather covered hills of Speyside in the Eastern Highlands, many particular styles have evolved through the decades. Flowery, delicate, malty, honeyed and fruity whiskies come from this region, but perhaps the most loved style is the one of whiskies entirely matured in Spanish casks that have previously contained sherry.
Lush, chewy, winey, nutty and fruity, malts matured in first fill sherry cask often show tremendous maturity, flavour richness and complexity already from a young age, due to the special quality of this kind of unique (and in recent years scarcely available) casks. Sherry casks have a special influence on giving and extra boost to maturation, imparting also some of the qualities and character of the wine that they previously held.
This single malt whisky had been aged in first fill sherry oak casks for seven years, and has been selected by the Distillery Manager for its perfect balance of maturity, flavour intensity and liveliness. It has all the fruity, nutty and fragrant qualities a connoisseur expects from a sherry cask malt made in the traditional way. Unchillfiltered, to preserve all the natural flavours."
