Cask No. 72.82

Attack of the vapours

Speyside, Lossie

It opens on starchy linen. Then sherbet, lavender, sunflower seeds and toasted trail mix. An organoleptic fabric of bath salts, elegant natural sweetness and cornflour. A little water brings out a chalkier, earthier side. Notes of pine sap, elderflower, juicy fruit, kiwi and lemon foam. The mouth is immediately rich and fruity; lots of pineapple cubes, jelly beans, strawberry laces, custard slices and creamy cherry liqueur. Water teases out a medicinal streak. Hints of gauze, crushed oatmeal, sweet flapjack, honeyed porridge and chalky mints.
