House Review
-
Intro:
This is an independent bottling of spirit distilled at Glenrothes for Signatory Vintage. It was matured for 20 years in a refill sherry butt before being selected by Specs in Texas. It was bottled at cask strength with no filtering or coloring.
-
Nose:
Caramel, figs, raisin bread. Toffee, buttered pecan. Sweet rich and musty. Pipe tobacco. Graham cracker. Date fruits.
-
Taste:
Thin to medium mouth feel. Minor heat. Sweet caramel, honey, figs, raisin bread. Heat grows with time. Sulfur. Lovely toffee and caramel. Nice and nutty.
-
Finish:
Long, rich and sweet. Honey, nutty, caramels, figs and sulfur.
-
Overall:
Strangely reminiscent of Classic Cut 2017 with more must, pipe tobacco and a hair more sulfur.
