M&H STR Single Cask for Impex (No. 0197), 59%

A whisky with amazing natural colors and the aromas turned up to 11; polished red apples, mixed peels, currant, clove, peppercorn, and crinkly dried red chiles. Sweet raspberry fudge initially, then the mouth-drawing high alcohol bites, sending it spiraling through clove, plum skins, baked fruit crumble, cookies, charred oak, nutty toffee, black cherry, and coffee grounds. Some single cask whisky can be a rollercoaster: this is the whole theme park! (282 bottles)—
