Christmas Cake & Dark Chocolate & Medjool Dates & Cinnamon & Sherry Casks & Cask Strength 12 Year Old Batch 03 (70cl, 55.6%)
Festive flavours like Christmas cake, dark chocolate, medjool dates, and cinnamon are the name of the game here. And by “name of the game”, we of course mean that Christmas Cake & Dark Chocolate & Medjool Dates & Cinnamon is literally the name of this whisky. What we’ve got is a superb Speyside single malt Scotch whisky, aged for eight years and boasting a sleighful of Yuletide elements, perfect for enjoying… Well, yeah, it’ll obviously be brilliant at Christmas, and any whisky fan will be thrilled to find a bottle under the tree with their name on it. It’ll probably be great any time of year if you’re a lover of sherried single malt, thinking about it, but it does have that little bit of holly on the label, so, y’know, Christmas and that.

Description
Tasting Note
Nose Yep, it smells like a homemade Christmas cake that’s been fed sherry for the past six months. Sweet layers of treacle and sticky toffee pudding are supported by wintery spice and meaty malt.
Palate Big and bold with dense, tannic, leathery oak and tobacco, drying spice, and sticky dried fruits. Fiery cinnamon is tamed by layers of maple syrup and chocolate fondant.
Finish A warming finish with notes of spiced biscuits and caramelised sugar, bolstered by that hearty cask strength.
