Miltonduff 12 Years Old 2008 Cask #18002 (Acorn)

Acorn, a Japanese independent, bottles this 12 Year Old, a 2008 vintage from ex-Bourbon cask 18002 at a powerful strength. Miltonduff, the delicate Speyside drawn from the abbey-blessed Black Burn and long bound for Ballantine's.

Twelve years in a bourbon barrel brought balance, lignin-derived vanilla and a growing fruity-ester sweetness folding into the grassy, floral make.

At 62.6% it shows vivid apple, pear and vanilla, undiluted. An Acorn 12.
