Speyside 15 Year Old - Single Minded
Details
Douglas Laing's Single Minded series is a range of Small Batch Single Malts from across a variety of Scotch Whisky regions.
Each is bottled exactly the way the distiller intended: without colouring or chill-filtration. This expression, a Speyside 15 Years Old, is clean and floral on the nose, showing vanilla, malt and sweet spices. The palate is incredibly sweet, with crunched sugar and subtle citrus and an unexpected late peatiness.
Tasting notes.
Clean, honeyed and floral, showing vanilla, malt and sweet spices at different stages on the nose, all leading to a palate that is incredibly sweet, with crunched sugar, juicy barley and mocha, even some citrus, ahead of an unexpected late peat suggestion.
All those characteristics plus distinct barley sugar are neatly wrapped up in the finish.
Could it be Macallan? Could it be Mortlach? Could it be Aberlour? who knows.. we do know that it was Matured and bottled by Douglas Laing & Co.
