Highland 19 Year Old Chorlton Marsala Hogshead 57.3% 70cl

Highland 19-year-old 57.3%

This whisky started life in a bourbon hogshead then ended up in a marsala hogshead for the last six years. The result was 265 bottles at a cask strength

A proper Mystery Malt for you here. All I can say for certain is it’s a lightly-peated Highland single malt, with a strange history that saw it accidentally re-racked into a marsala hogshead. Oh, and it’s very Christmassy!

Nose: Big and rich, with stroopwafel, sloes and prunes, spiced apple, cinnamon toast, Pontefract cake, coal dust and a touch of farmyard funk.

Palate: Has a huge and chewy note, with salty and sweet toffee, lapsang souchong, treacle and dates, preserved plums and milk chocolate. A strange and happy accident!
