2010 Berry Bros. & Rudd Dailuaine, Cask Ref. 312954, Speyside, Single Malt Scotch Whisky (55.1%)

The aromas from this robust Speysider swagger from the glass showing heavy floral aromas of honey and heather, wrapped in the sweet and spiced flavours one would hope for from Moscatel wood. The thickly textured palate brings a wave of flavours from prunes and walnuts to under-ripe peach and honeyed toast and a little water shows a whiff of charcoal and perhaps more spices. Heavy textured whiskies often offer the best finish, and this is no exception with sweet Moscatel and vibrant fruits lingering long.
