North British Distillery
Dewar Rattray A.D Rattray North British 1991 (25 year old) 53.2%
Re-Charred Sherry Butt 262058
Dist: Sept 1991 Btl: Jun 2017
Tasted: Apr 2018
Aromas of mature, rum-like baked fruit and plenty of winey spices. The sherry is very subtle and adds just a soupcon of sweet-ish raisinated fruit, cinnamon, redcurrant and nutmeg. A balancing crisp, grain note comes through with time.
The palate opens with more of the sherried dried fruit, walnut, liquorice, nutmeg and cinnamon, although some subtle grainy dried fruit does come through. Hints of cream coconut and vanilla on the middle, which has turned into a riot of peppery spice! Good length with lingering grainy dried fruit.
A drop of water emphasises the grain but also brings out a touch of chocolate, sweet prune and warm vanilla. The grainy fruit is emphasised on the palate as well and now there’s a touch of menthol and mint. Mouth-filling and juicy, but still pretty peppery on the finish!
