Duncan Taylor Dimensions (distilled at Caledonian) 1987 31 year old, 52.9%

Price: 300 Issue: Spring 2019 Reviewer: Jonny McCormick Category: Single Grain Scotch

Produced the year before the distillery closed, this has lemon butter, popcorn, bouquet garni, garlic shoots, and chopped cilantro ensuring the imbiber knows this is grain, not one masquerading as a single malt. Light green fruits reminiscent of melon, apple, and nectarine on the palate, with caramel, vanilla, a little oak, and a ripple of spice, notably coriander seed and pepper, before a finish of pears in golden syrup.
