Prometheus Cache 2 - 27 Year Old - 47%
Details
A legendary Speyside with the Titanic strength of barley malted by burning peat. A whisky of sublime sophistication and balance.
Tasting notes...
Nose: Rich, round and soft with the spicy aroma of winter fruits and mulled wine. A complex synthesis of Madagascan vanilla pods, liquorice and preserved Maraschino cherries against a backdrop of lightly charred oak and just a whiff of oily peat.
Palate: Silky smooth up front. Powerful, rich, and even more savoury than the nose suggested with the excitement of zesty orange peel adding to the spice. A splash of water brings out more earthy characteristics: Grassy, Flinty, Slatey flavours add to the complexity.
Finish: Exceptionally long and rich. Spicy Orange with a hint of sherry in charred oak.
We do believe this Titan of a malt to be from Macallan. We do know for sure its 27 years old and was aged entirely in first fill Spanish sherry casks, producing a run of 1,500 bottles.
A mysterious single malt from the Glasgow Distillery Company.
