[61.8%・Distilled in 2009・Bottled in 2016・ 7 Years Old・Official Bottling・Cask No. MDC541・Single Cask Release of 193 Bottles]
Nose:
Rich vanilla from the get going but other than that a bit on the shy side initially but turns out to be quite a spicy number despite the floral honey sweetness, a prominent cereal note develops in time.
Palate & Finish:
Honey and syrup intertwining with soft pears and pineapples as the spices build up.
Lemony and slightly malty with the honey stickiness making a come back in the finish.
Thoughts:
Aged in a 1st full Bourbon barrel from Maker’s Mark, intensely flavoured like a fever dream.
