Miltonduff Single Malt Scotch Whisky, 9 years 2012
Speyside, The Whisky Cellar, 750 ml
| Producer: | The Whisky Cellar |
| Origin: | United Kingdom / Highland-Speyside |
Description
This Miltonduff was matured for around 8 years in a first-fill American oak sherry cask and then "finished" for over a year in first-fill European oak. This "double sherry cask" maturation method has produced a strong, rich, full-bodied and stylish whisky. On the nose, aromas of warm Jamaican ginger cake, candied orange peel and caramelised brown sugar beguile. On the palate it convinces with mocha, sugared almonds, tobacco leaves, peppercorns and orange peel. Leaves a lingering, satisfyingly sweet mouthfeel.

Highland-Speyside
Speyside: Das Herz der Whisky-Kultur
Geografisch gesehen ist die Speyside ein kleiner, nordöstlich gelegener Teilbereich der Highlands. Doch das Hügelland zwischen den Städten Inverness und Aberdeen, durch welches das Flüsschen Spy fliesst, das der Region ihren Namen gibt, ist das Herz und der Nabel der schottischen Whisky-Herstellung und Single Malt-Kultur. Nicht weniger als 50 der insgesamt 108 schottischen Destillerien sind hier beheimatet. Die Speyside-Malts bestechen mit ihrer Komplexität und Eleganz.
