Claxton's Strathclyde 28 year old Oloroso Hogshead, 40.3%

Attractive and well-balanced with aromas of nectarine, yellow plum, lemon zest, white chocolate, and candied orange peel. Juicy but not too sweet, the flavors give nectarine flesh plum, honey, vanilla, and meringue, with a slow burn of pepper, clove, and roasted spice as the grain works its way to the front. This is the best grain whisky from Scotland I’ve tasted this year. (U.S. Exclusive; 188 bottles).
