This classic Speyside distillery still has wormtubs and boasts the oldest still in Dufftown.
With a wonderful deep amber hue, this examples is clearly from an active sherry cask. To begin with, the nose is greeted with a curious port note, then chocolate and mint, like Fry's and After Eights. In the background there is a buttery caramel character. To taste, it is initially sweet, then like chewing burnt wood. The impression is of a clean spirit. Floral elements appear with water: cowslips, buttercups and meadows: "very Julie Andrews". A buttery element remains. Diluted, the palate is sweet and creamy, and remains burnt at the finish. A little bit of everything, and all of it good.
