Cask 88 The Book of Demonologie 13 year old (Cask No. 26), 52%

Price: 120 Issue: Spring 2023 Reviewer: Jonny McCormick Category: Single Malt Scotch

Part of the Scottish Witchcraft Series, this 2009 cask hails from a secret Orkney distillery. It stirs with a nose of cherry lips candy, peat smoke, salty sea air, toasted teacake, lime Jell-O, and lavender bath salts. Warm sherry notes with fruitcake flavors of cherry, mixed peel, walnut, and vine fruit, then a peppery peak before becoming syrupy with honey, lemon zest, dark toffee, date, and fig on the other side.
