Polished red apple aromas, with dates, dried fig, baking spices, baked plum, dried vine fruit, blackened oak, and hints of chocolate give this the air of a refined digestif. Savor the sherried character on the palate with toffee, baked sultana, bread-and-butter pudding, red apple, baking spices, red currant, and plum, then aniseed, cinnamon, sticky toffee pudding, and oak. It’s a wonderful expression, with a charming slow procession of flavors.
“A good gulp of hot Scotch Whisky at bedtime–it’s not very scientific, but it helps!”
Alexander Fleming, Scottish inventor of penicillin, prescribed it as a cure for the common cold. Today Single Malt Scotch Whiskies are prized by enthusiasts and aficionados the world over for their rarity, age and complexity. By definition these must be produced in Scotland from a single distillery and made entirely from malted barley, using a pot still. The appearance, aroma and flavor of a Single Malt Scotch Whisky can vary widely depending on whether it was produced in the Highlands, Lowlands Islands, Speyside, Islay or Campbelltown regions.
