AGE: 27 Year Old.

CASK TYPE: Refill Hogshead.

CASK NUMBER: 17325

NUMBER OF BOTTLES: 209

ABV: 50% Vol.

NOSE: ah the layering – Textbook stuff from the days before they started peating … which means that every nuance is there and unmolested by smoke. The citrus in particular shines, a kind of lime-blossom honey sweetness weighted by glorious butterscotch and vanilla mix. Occasionally head towards a slight bourbony note too … ; the pace, weight and complexity is borderline perfection.

TASTE: brilliant mouthfeel: so silky and soft with the gristy sugars from the malt still at the vanguard. Buttery and rich, but the gently oak doesn’t allow for too much OTT floweriness.

FINISH: the slow-motion movement towards spicy complexity is almost mesmerising …

BALANCE: old school Bunna at its oldest! Love it! A truly exceptional cask that demands half and hour just to get to know.

NUMBER OF BOTTLES: 256

NOSE: gorgeous moist marzipan with acacia honey and barley juice;

TASTE: the kind of delivery that makes you wonder why a distillery is not more widely appreciated: classic Speyside flightiness but with a remarkable degree of intensity to the slightly grisy barley; the spices make an announcement at the midpoint …;

FINISH: and decide they are there to stay. Brilliant layering to the vanilla-led tannin, weaving pretty patterns with the concentrated Malteser candy; the oils cling on gamely ensuing fabulously long finish;

BALANCE: class in a glass.

TASTE: one of the most viscous mouth-feels I have ever encountered: actually needed to check the bottle to ensure this wasn’t a liqueur …! The initial heather honey sweetness on delivery adds to the effect. But soon those tannions so clearly defined on the nose are making their presence felt from about the fourth flavorwave onwards;

FINISH: a teasing spices as the oak plays out its wonderfully orchestrated tune;

BALANCE: a belting malt which will appeal especially to those with a very sweet tooth. But isn’t all one way traffic and some outstanding oak ensure balance.

STATED AGE: 18 years old.

NUMBER OF BOTTLES: 7258

STRENGTH: 46.8% Vol.

Love love love the funny label (my cats love it too). This baby’s said to be a vatting of Blair Athol, Dalmore, and Glen Garioch. Which rather makes sense, doesn’t it.

COLOUR: straw.

NOSE: malty, I’d say. That was the easy part, then I’m finding orchard fruits, apples and plums, then breads, then oatcakes, then crème brulée. We remain close to the barley and even to the ground, which is just fine.

MOUTH: really good, as good as a middle-aged ‘natural’ vatting of shy-ish malts can be. Bread, brioche, malt, more oats, sour apples, and touches of oranges. That may be Dalmore. The body’s good.

FINISH: medium, very malty, barleyish, and natural. Beer in the aftertaste. Comments: totally natural malt whisky, integrally malt-forward, with nothing in the way (peat, sherry, oak, wine, whatever). The 21 yo had more asperities, but that’s normal, this one’s only 18. Vive la nature!

TASTING NOTES: Serge Whisky Fun.
