Lindores Abbey, The Casks of Lindores, STR Wine Barrique, Lowland, Single Malt Scotch Whisky (49.4%)
- Scotch Whisky
Description
This whisky has a glorious, deep amber hue and a mellow, fruit-forward nose with increasingly captivating complexity. Aromas of apricot and plum mingled with creamy toffee and sweet spice, with a whisp of smoke.
Further on the palate were light notes of honey, enriched by deeper treacle tones. Sweet spice and wood smoke enlivened the experience.
This is a wonderful bottling; a generous and fascinating spirit made more so by its maturation in ‘shaved, toasted & re-charred’ red wine barriques. It is best enjoyed neat.
