A merry dance

Speyside, Lossie

After eight years in regular ex-bourbon wood we transferred this into an ex-peaty bourbon barrel. The nose combines limestone and chalk, hay barns and dusty shoe boxes; lime marmalade, satsumas and hibiscus tea; bacon and pancakes with maple syrup. Whispers of smoke appear on the palate lemon bonbons in coal dust, liquorice laces, Tangfastics and apple crumble, oak tannins and plum sauce on crispy duck. The reduced nose key lime pie, redcurrant jelly, peaches and rosewater; oaked chardonnay and iodine. The reduced palate remains a tongue twerker fruit and peat in a merry dance mojitos, crystallised orange, balsa wood, pickled ginger, wasabi and lime.
