According to K and L, this is a blend of two casks that were both distilled in 1978 by two different distilleries, one in Speyside and the other in Highlands. Then the independent bottler chose the two casks and blended them together creating this blend and a total of 200 bottles. The nose starts with; I kid you not, almost like an oaked sprite soda, then tropical fruits of mango, plantains, coconut cream, caramel, and pie spices of allspice, ginger, cloves and old oak with a light burn. The taste is a medium mouthfeel starting with cinnamon apple butter, churros, cherry cordials then barrel spices of allspice, ginger, cloves, old oak with medium ethanol burn that finishes medium length and very spicy with gingerbread cookies, apple butter, cherry cordials, cloves, and old oak. This is a solid nice whisky and the two components were blended nicely together while their age didn’t bring an overpowering wood element to the whisky. It’s an easy sipper, but the spice on the mid-palate to the end feels a bit overwhelming to me and just takes away those fruits and light old oak that I would like to taste more of. Big thank you to @jonwilkinson7309 for the sample.
