Claxton's Tomintoul 18 year old Oloroso Hogshead, 54.8%

A richly sherried single cask expression of a gentle Speyside single malt, this revels in aromatic notes of sherry-soaked raisins, mixed peel, almonds, dried figs, and a hint of prune. You can’t really go wrong with a flavor profile as good as this, with its beautiful marriage of sherry and baked orange supported by baking spice, cinnamon, nutmeg, blueberry, tangy peels, cocoa, and chocolate muffin. (U.S. Exclusive; 216 bottles)
