Speyside Single Malt, 53.5%, 70cl — Single Cask #1034, Hogshead Limited edition of 141 bottles — LMDW Exclusive

COLOUR
Deep golden yellow

NOSE
Fine, subtle. Deliciously vanilla and fruity (pineapple, Mirabelle plum), the first nose is also honeyed (acacia, lime blossom), malty and vinous (white port, muscatel). Allowed to breathe, absolutely delicious aromas of apple tart, greengage plum and candied ginger appear alongside lots of heady florals (iris, tuberose, lily, dahlia). Next, in the true Speyside style, the aromatic palette is covered in abundant grains of malted barley.

PALATE
Rich, powerful. Magnificently liquorice and oily (rapeseed, sunflower), the attack also reveals citrus fruit (orange, clementine), exotic fruit (passion fruit, mango) and spearmint. On the mid-palate, varied spices (clove, cumin, coriander, dill) bring lots of energy to the flavour palette. Gradually, exquisite flavours of camomile, clover and fresh walnut cover the taste buds. The very creamy end of the palate is vanilla, saffrony and spicy (black pepper, cinnamon).

FINISH
Long, silky. The very powdery (ice cake) start of the finish is like a superb sake. Magnificently herbaceous (box tree, holly, juniper), with time it becomes increasingly rich (calisson d’Aix, prune flan). The tertiary retro-nasal olfaction is driven by notes of marron glacé, chestnut, pine resin and verbena. The extremely concentrated empty glass is slightly camphoric, herbaceous (alfalfa, coriander), lemony and above all malty (barley pulp, porridge).
