Chapter 7 2008 (distilled at Aultmore) 9 year old, 62.2%
Price: ● Issue: Spring 2018 ● Reviewer: Gavin Smith ● Category: Single Malt Scotch
Aged in bourbon wood, then finished in an oloroso sherry cask. The result is a whisky with a nutty nose, plus sultanas, figs, vanilla, and background sherry, becoming more floral in time. Full-bodied on the palate, with sweet sherry notes, ginger, and cinnamon, and developing raisin and prune notes. The finish is long, with spicy coffee and blackberries. (Cask no. 900160)
