Celtic Cask Ocht 8

A 23 year old single malt from 1991 finished in French oak Ànima Negra casks from Mallorca producing a dark ruby colored whiskey. Rich and earthy: raisins treacle strawberry Jell-O sawdust on dunnage floors gingerbread and traces of peppermint. Early creaminess is swept aside by intensely fruity waves of blackberry blueberry strawberry grapefruit and Seville orange that draw the mouth. Sweet Jaffa cake centers emerge later. Soft never boisterous and finishes with dry heat and fig paste (334 bottles). €325
