Creetown Distillers 1995 Speyside Distillery 28 year old Sherry Butt Matured Single Cask (No. 9), 51%

Price: 200 Issue: Spring 2025 Reviewer: Julia Higgins Category: Single Malt Scotch

Caramelized sugar, grilled pineapple, and baked apples make for an enticing nose, pulling you back for more; if you stick with it awhile, you’ll be rewarded with earthier notes and minerality. Java on the palate; flavors of coffee ice cream and café con leche enhance a delightfully creamy texture. The finish sees more of that espresso influence, and it’s amplified by dark chocolate brownie batter and cardamom spice. No complaints here!
