Caledonian Grain Whisky - Clan Denny 45 Year Old Edition

 Caledonian Grain Whisky – Clan Denny 45 Year Old Edition
Country: Scotland   Region: Lowland
Age: 45 Years   Strength: 47.30%
Summary: Cask No: HH7501.
Bottles from Cask:
Distilled: 1965.
Bottled:
Nose: a curious though not unpleasant mix of bourbon whisky warehouse and my dad’s old-train imbued clothes in the early 60’s after he got in from work …;
Taste: a Kentuckian character from the moment it touches the lips; the sugars are delicate and diverse, the liquorice building in boldness. By the midway point the sugars have moved into fully-fledged honey’s; light and brain-exploding complex;
Finish: a wee bitter note from tired oak. But that is outflanked by those oils carrying a gorgeous fruit and nut character and vanilla to die for;
Balance: anyone who managed to get their hands on the very oldest maturing stocks of Barton bourbon from twenty years ago (and there were very few of us who managed it) would recognise it immediately. The similarities are uncanny.

Carsebridge Grain Whisky - Clan Denny 45 Year Old Edition

 Carsebridge Grain Whisky – Clan Denny 45 Year Old Edition
Country: Scotland   Region: Lowland
Age: 45 Years   Strength: 44.70%
Summary: Cask No: HH7500.
Bottles from Cask:
Distilled: 1965.
Bottled:
Nose: absolutely no doubting the corn used in this whisky: a gentle honeyed cross between a Canadian and bourbon, alternating in intensity between the two styles;
Taste: the delivery comes down firmly in the bourbon camp; or perhaps I should say softly but decidedly: the oils are sumptuous yet feather-light, the sugars no more than sprinkled;
Finish: warm;
Balance: and now we have so often seen in Kentucky and Canada, old grains maturing in high quality casks rank amongst the best whiskies in the world: here is a stunning example.

Knockando - 12 Year Old Managers Choice/sherry Cask

 Knockando – 12 Year Old Managers Choice/sherry Cask
Country: Scotland   Region: Speyside
Age: 12 Year Old   Strength: 58.50%
Summary: Nose: I think my staff have poured me the wrong stuff: they’ve opened up some pot still Demerara, right …? Wrong. No definitely from the Knockando sample. Well, well, well …let’s just say it’s a fruity, sugary, rich start on the nose …;
Taste: Actually, I don’t care if this is rum or whisky. When you get flavours this beautifully defined, a body this sublimely structure …it really doesn’t much matter. Oozes fruity, beautifully natural sweetened quality and complexity;
Finish: A slight bitterness on the finish where, for the first time, there is a minor blemish, but the array of sugars still make for something memorable …and absolutely 100% nothing like I have tasted from any previous Knockando …;
Balance: I have been in the Demerara region Guyana, crawled around a rum warehouse at a rum distillery and opened a cask of rum which has less rum characteristics than this rumbustuous chappie. Quite a rum do.

Old Pulteney - 1990 Vintage

Age: 23 Year Old   Strength: 46%
Summary: Old Pulteney 1990 has been matured in hand selected American oak ex-Bourbon barrels and Spanish oak ex-Sherry butts.
The casks previously held heavily peated malt which gives this Vintage a slight smoky character.
Appearance: Polished amber.
Aroma: Subtle, warm wood smoke envelopes the sweetness of peardrops & crunchy green apples. Fragrant floral notes, fresh lemon zest & honey are followed by a spicy & fruity touch of ex-sherry casks.
Taste: Full bodied & rich. The initial sweet honey note is quickly followed by a wave of thick peat smoke, joined a moment later by a spicy vanilla, toffee & rum smoked raisins.
This product will be available for delivery after the 16th November.
