Another expertly curated release from Alistair Walker, whose flair for unique cask maturations continues to impress. 299 bottles only, filled at 58.7% vol, natural colour and without chill-filtration.

Tasting Notes
Awards
Nose
Concentrated. A fruit cocktail of clementines, peaches and strawberries, with a cameo from marinated raisins.
Palate
Apple and raisin strudel, with butterscotch and Muscovado sugar. A touch of red grapes. Underpinned by cinnamon spice.
