Berry Bros. & Rudd Knockdhu 2012 Vintage Single Cask (No. 7127), 58.8%

This vintage-dated Highland single malt is delightfully fruity on the nose, opening with ripe banana, toasted nuts, a little mustiness, and light spice. The palate cranks up the spice, but the heat is never overwhelming, leading to hazelnut, chocolate, and dried fruit. Fruit, nuts, coffee, and chocolate meld into a lengthy finish.
