Dram Hunter 15 year old (Distilled at Strathmill), 55.9%

Intensely aromatic, with fruit Life Savers, ground black pepper, pear, peeled apple, vanilla, hay bales, lemon zest, sweet apple, and barley sugar. Delightfully, it keeps evolving in the glass. Softly soothing with juicy fruitiness, the citrus and spice build to a peak of clove and oak spices, becoming creamier, with poached pear, baked orange, toasted spices, oat cookies, brownies, malt, and Lotus Biscoff. Superbly drinkable at cask strength—no mean feat. (U.S. exclusive; 243 bottles)
