Cask 35.320 Dandelion sauternes
A lovely and very classical example of this Elgin distillery. The neat nose suggested butterscotch, sweetened popcorn and crème brûlée. Beyond that we also noted flambeed banana, pineapple upside down cake, ripe mango, and floral bouquets with lots of pollen. Some water brought hints of youthful calvados, lime cordial, rose syrup and sweet sauternes. In the mouth we noted pink wafer biscuits, vanilla panna cotta with strawberry syrup and subtle notes of hazelnut butter and scone mix. Water brought out marzipan, eucalyptus, ripe melon and tutti frutti diluting juice.
This was an “absolute nut-ter” on the nose neat, with peanut brittle, hazelnuts, almonds, salted peanuts and peaches with crème fraiche, brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg. On the palate, creamy oat milk, toasted coconut as well as sweet Spanish jamon and salt and pepper pork with a pickled salad. Following the addition of water, the aromas were salted pretzels and olives but at the same time honeyed cereal, lime marmalade and whipped butter. To taste, we got orange-salmon canapes before finishing with a walnut whip – that whirl-shaped cone of milk chocolate, vanilla fondant and topped with a half walnut.
Cask 4.307 A siren in the haar
A familiar but always beautiful aroma that we agreed now seems very specific to these stocks. Clear impressions of distant, aromatic seashores and coastlines. Along with gauze, lemon peel, lanolin, steel wool and oily tool box rags. Some flints and coal scuttles too. Water brought out fresh sandalwood, green olives, beach sand and hints of peppermint and pickling brine. The palate was surprisingly big: full of thick, briny and oily peat. Also soft medicines, herbal extracts and smoked olive oil. Reduction brought ginger wine, seawater, aniseed, pasta water and thick heathery peat. At 7 years of age we combined selected casks from this distillery. We then returned that single malt into a variety of different casks to develop further – this is one of those casks. Originally from bourbon hogsheads, married in this 1st fill barrel.
