Exclusive Malts (distilled at Royal Brackla) 2006 11 year old, 58.2%

Price: $100 Issue: Summer 2018 Reviewer: Gavin Smith

Distilled in 2006, this was filled into a virgin French oak cask (#310865) and bottled at cask strength after 11 years. Peaches and apricots on the early nose, with a hint of cloves. Ultimately very floral, with vanilla fudge. The palate yields zesty orchard fruits, malt, and ginger. Remaining fruity in the long finish, with black pepper and juicy oak. (286 bottles)
