We're rather excited about this single cask release from Alistair Walker and the Infrequent Flyers, similar cask management used on other drams (think Tamdhu, Tormore & Strathmill) which have all be excellent! Distilled in 2008 and matured for 16 years, a single cask release, bottled from a Pedro Ximénez sherry hogshead. 293 bottles filled at 54.4% vol, released as part of the 17th batch of Infrequent Flyers. Make to read the tasting notes below to get a nice feel for this dram!
Tasting Notes
Awards
Nose
Initially floral and fruity - peaches and red plums. Then come the heavier notes - praline and Macadamia nuts.
Palate
Lush, dense and somewhat intense…. Ooh yeah, it's the mocha, man! PX to the fore, this dram clotheslines you with a flurry of dark chocolate, espresso coffee and brown sugar, followed by a forearm smash of raisins and sultanas.
Finish
Off the top rope comes Madagascan vanilla, before closing with a figure four leg-lock of sweet spice, cloves and black pepper.
