Midleton 1991 Single Cask

From this first-fill bourbon cask emerge light delicate aromatic fruits: think white peach poached pear and lychee with creamed coconut nutmeg-spiced latte Simnel cake Chinese five-spice and richer apple notes. A seemingly chaste dram that begins with honey egg-washed brioche stewed pears and slender pink rhubarb before innocence is lost as sweet bursts of fruit explode while dark vanilla clove rum and raisin chocolate and rye divert the action. Dried apple with Christmas spices marks the finish. (186 bottles The Whisky Exchange only) £245
