Intro:
This is an independent bottling of Glenturrent distillate by Old Particular (Douglas Laing) for KLWines in California. It is matured in a sherry cask and bottled at cask strenth with no coloring or filtering.
-
Nose:
Rich currant, blackberry, cherry and honey. Pepper, tobacco. Rich syrupy fruits, with a nice spice undertone.
-
Taste:
Thick, rich mouth feel. Some mild heat. Drinks well below 62% ABV. Sweet honey, plum and almond. Then the fruits hit like a truck. Blackberry, fig, cherry, currant. Bright and fruity, loaded with rich stewed fruits. Some pepper.
-
Finish:
Long, rich and flavorful. Blackberry, graham cracker, pipe tobacco. Mild heat, although still tame compared to my expectation for the proof.
-
Overall:
Really interesting, complex and frankly great release from Old Particular. Really wishing I bought more of this one.
