From the team
Madeira, almond butter, hot cross buns…did we mention Madeira? This lesser-seen Speyside malt is super buttery and decadent on both the nose and the palate, with the latter presenting a wave of fresh stone fruits on the palate. What would be described as an ‘unsexy’ distillery code, this is an easy one to grab for when perusing your whisky shelf when you want to pair something with a brioche loaf you’ve picked up from your local market, or just want to impress your friends who may not be accustomed to cask-strength, single-cask whisky. Definitely not one to overlook this month!
Tasting Panel notes
Madeira cake came dipped in molten white chocolate and sprinkled with chunks of glacé cherries. On the palate, a syrupy-sweet opening salvo, with vanilla and hot cross buns joined by almond butter and a pinch of mace. With water, we found sugar cane soaking in freshly squeezed lemon juice, fruit loaf and pears. The palate matches this, with a continuation of Madeira cake and a hint of juniper, ginger and peaches too.
