Bladnoch14YearOldSingleMaltScotchWhisky(700ml)

Sans Aged exclusively in Oloroso casks, Master Distiller, Dr Nick Savage is particularly pedantic about the barrel selections here, and it shows in what is an elegant, medium-bodied and well managed expression that’s bestowed an attractive dryness from the wine input. There is a touch of ‘old schoolâ€?sherry character with precise and nutty oloroso also defined by delicious peel zest and a slightly salty, biscuity charm that by the finish, works into fruit’nut’nut dark chocolate, old leather, warming ginger and trace sulphur. A pleasing contrast to the sherry-bombs of Speyside, it’s a whisky that aptly reflects that casks it was matured in. 46.7% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered.
