A Speyside Single Malt 1966
Age: 40 years
Distilled: 1966
Bottled: 2007
Region: Speyside
ABV: 52,4 %
Outturn: 150
Cask Type: Oloroso Sherry Butt
Price per Litre: 270,- €
Bottled by: The Whisky Fair
Tasting Notes: There`s typical Oloroso-style sherry on the nose: dense structure, sweet liqueurs, old leather, dark chocolate. On the palate raisins come up, maybe some kind of dark fruits that have been put in alcohol for some time, even hints of burnt matches on the finish. Though greatly influenced by the sherry (and) wood, it`s a round, creamy, mature malt - if you`d ever run out of a very old Cognac this one would be an ideal substitute.
