Single Malt Scotch Whisky, Secret Highland distilled in January 2000, Lightly Peated, Double Matured, Second Fill Ex-Bourbon & Oloroso Sherry Cask, Cask Strength, 54.2% ABV, only 353 bottles, 500ml
"Leather-gloved drivers race vintage cars, the air thick with the scent of hot oil, waxed leather interiors, and fresh leaves unfurling in spring."
Color: Mahogany
Nose: A captivating dance between the burnt rubber of a racetrack and the oily patina of a vintage engine, before giving way to indulgent swirls of smoky caramel, vanilla cheesecake, and rice pudding delicately infused with coconut.
Palate: A daring adventure: tire smoke and the scent of hay bales intertwine with golden waffles topped with maple syrup and a creamy oxtail soup served in a terracotta bowl. Delicate Turkish delight coated in milk chocolate flirts with melting baked apples, damp autumn leaves, and a spiced and orange hot chocolate, while a hint of flax seeds and the dusty charm of old cellars whisper an elegance from another era.
Finish: Long and silky, lingering on savory porridge, spiced chocolate fondue, and the weathered leather of driving gloves, soaked in oil and memories. Wild, smoky, irresistibly bewitching.
Conclusion: A whisky over 25 years old from the Highlands, having benefited from a second maturation in a most precious cask, thus developing a unique aroma!
