Dufftown 2008 12 Year Old, Berry's Cask #03087

An old adage states that “Rome was built on seven hills, but Dufftown stands on seven stills”. Dufftown is one of the pre-eminent whisky towns in Speyside and the eponymous distillery lies on the outskirts near to the ancient Mortlach church.

Tasting Notes:
This gentle Speysider has spent the final two years of maturation in a fresh ex-Pedro Ximenez sherry butt. The nose offers a delicate balance of Speyside’s soft fresh fruits with Jerez’s rich unctuous dried fruits with lashings of spice to boot. The full, oily palate brings the sherry influence to the fore showing raisins and figs before developing into rich baking spices and some mashed banana. The spirit character rallies on the finish with grated apple and pear drops appearing. A wonderfully warming dram perfect for an early evening on a cool, crisp day.
