A very restrained PX cask from Dunville’s. This one is bready and cereally, with only the odd raisin or apricot. It’s less sweet on the tongue than in the nose, but retains a decent level of complexity.

Dram

Nose: Honey, toffee, apple juice, raisins, malted grains, vanilla, hints of butterscotch.

Finish: Medium. White pepper, butterscotch, honey, toffee. 

Comments: 

Excellent and flavoursome, lots of toffee, honey and spice. It’s probably Cooley distillate, but it’s not common knowledge, so it’s a mystery malt for me. Can’t wait for these guys to bottle the juice from their Echlinville distillery.

Verdict:

I like this.
