Tasting Notes
Allt-à-Bhainne 23 Year Old - 1996 | Cask 187540 | Berry Bros & Rudd
This ex-Bourbon barrel offers subtle and delicate aromas of vanilla, coconut and fresh green fruit; a little time in the glass brings a slight whiff of peat smoke. The palate is equally complex and understated with notes of spiced apple, melon, some shortbread, and mashed banana. A long finish brings waves of wood spice and fresh fruit. A wise, quietly confident dram, reminding us that Scotch is about subtlety and complexity.
