The ImpEx Collection Strathmill 14 year old Single Cask (No. 802952; distilled in 2009), 57.5%

Grassy aromas with vanilla cream, poached pears, white pepper, cotton candy, delicate floral notes, and hints of lemon meringue pie. There’s a serene, dream-like quality to this tasty dram, with banana chip, vanilla, honey, walnut, and a gentle pepperiness, sliding into poached pear, nougat, melon, and lemon peel. Water unleashes lemon and lime, punchy spices, and a zingy aftertaste.
