From The Maltman is coming out at the beginning of July a new expression from the Clynelish distillery. Matured in a re-fill bourbon hogshead for 18 years after being distilled in May 1997 and bottled in June 2015 at 47.5%.
The nose has a fatty rich vanilla note mixed with chocolate mouse. Fruit sweetness, raisins, red berries, gummibears, gingerbread, hints of rich speculaas, Turkish delight, sweet pastry notes mixed with rich cake, some marzipan and powdered sugar.
It gives me next to that some warm spices, red apple, oranges, mint and light heather honey. It keeps changing and giving me new notes. Lovely rich nose, but not too overpowering, sweet and soft with a warm layer to it.

From the nose there is some anticipation build up for sure to taking a sip of it, and I was not disappointed. You can find the notes clearly back on the palate from the nose.
Combined with some pepper and more fruit notes like pear juice, banana, and a fatty mouth feel. A good decent finish on it that leaves the creamy vanilla feel with fruit notes running through it. Lovely whisky, scoring it a good 7,5 out of 10 for sure. Thanks Andrew for sharing it with us!
