Strathmill 25 Year Old 2014 Special Release

n
nPart of the Diageo Special Releases Collection 2014.
n
nA limited edition, natural cask strength single malt from Strathmill, a Speyside distillery rarely seen as a single malt. This is the first extra-mature bottling to be made by the original distillers and the first Strathmill in this series of limited releases.
n
nDistilled in 1988 and matured in refill American Oak casks, there are only 2,700 individually numbered bottles available world-wide.
n
nA dense aroma with a mild nose-feel; thick and creamy, it hovers between sweet and sour, like rowan jelly, then resolves as glazed greengage tart. Far in the background is a whiff of smoke and chocolate. The taste has surprisingly little sweetness or acidity for Strathmill gently drying in the finish. More fruity with a drop of water, with the tartness of gooseberries, and a slightly waxy texture.
