The Single Malts of Scotland Reserve Casks 10 Year Old Clynelish

A batch of three ex-Bourbon barrels from the Clynelish distillery has been used to create this Single Malt, distilled in 2011 and aged for more than 10 years. A characteristic mouth-coating dram, with plenty of contrast in the form of fruit and buttery, creamy notes. Bottled exclusively for the USA.

TASTING NOTES

Nose: A jar of coconut hand cream is opened next to a paper bag of pear drops. There is comforting baking spice: cinnamon, ginger, and allspice. Some rolled oats and jasmine waft in next, with a slight contrasting tropical nuance and a hint of melted butter.

Palate: Pear juice and chunks of tangy, bright pineapple explode on the palate. This is all accented by a truly buttery and mouth-coating character which allows for a wonderful complexity of flavor.

Finish: You are left with lots of fresh, sweet pineapple juice, a delicate floral note, and candied ginger.
