Mossburn Signature Casks Series Speyside Blended Malt, 46%

Price: 40 Issue: Fall 2018 Reviewer: Jonny McCormick Category: Blended Malt Scotch Whisky

This is clever. Using Mossburn Cask Bill #2, the whisky has been finished in first-fill oloroso sherry butts with heavily toasted virgin American oak heads. The nose is intense: sweet barley, fresh oak, vanilla, pear, fresh apple, orange peel, and dry wood spices. Silky texture, with citrus, barley, coriander seed, pepper, aniseed, and clove, offering further waves of creamy vanilla, fruit Life Savers, and soft malty notes.
