Miltonduff 6 Years Old 2015 (Morrison Scotch Whisky Distillers)

From Morrison's Càrn Mòr Strictly Limited range, this young 6 Year Old is a 2015 vintage matured in Pedro Ximenez, an outturn of 1,812 bottles. Miltonduff, the floral Speyside distilled where Pluscarden Abbey's old meal mill once stood, long a heart of Ballantine's.

Six years in Pedro Ximenez loaded the grassy, floral make with the sweetest sherry, residual sugars and melanoidins giving raisin, date and treacle.

At 47.5% it shows chocolate, a solvent lift, a sweaty note and a yeasty depth over dark PX fruit. A Càrn Mòr 6.
