Quark cream cake
The whisky comes from a butt. In general, this is a malt that tolerates the maturation in sherry wood well. But in this case, the color is more golden than orange and even in the scent is no trace of sherry, so we wondered if this was Butt ever included sherry. The malt itself comes from the first distillery that was built in Dufftown, is considered a top class and enjoys a great reputation among connoisseurs. The first impression of the nose is quark cake with a good short crust pastry base and then an idea rhubarb compote or steamed pears. After the addition of water, he reveals himself as a typical Speyside of the full-bodied variety, clean and with an unusual hint of smoke-like toasted sourdough bread. The taste is undiluted remarkably smoky for a Speyside, with toffee notes. Water initially sweetened it and dried it in the finish, leaving a slight aftertaste of cheesecloths.
