Cask No. 79.12 New lip-smacking and galvanising – oneThe wonderfully natural nose showcased this distillery without its habitual cloak of unusual wood influence. In its place we found a superbly dusty profile, rich in cereals, malt extract, barley sugars, breads and buttered oatcakes. With water this evolved towards baled hay, fresh pollens, pressed flowers, dusty waxes, wax jacket grease, and cedar and pine woods.
