Whisky #550: Acorn’s Macduff 15 Year Old Cask Strength Single Malt. Speyside, Scotland. ABV: 53.9%. Tasted at Whisky a Day HQ, $179 (bottle).
Colour: Golden filament.
Nose: A lemony prickle at the front of the nostril…geez that sounds wanky, but it’s actually what it was like!
Palate: Breadcrumbs, buttery biscuits and lemon. But then also fresh herby and zesty…fresh gremolata?
Finish: Oily mouthfeel; burnt butter and creamed honey with a long salty fade.
Comments: A Scottish single malt from Japanese independent bottler Acorn’s…absolutely moreish. The savoury, herbaceous and sweet flavours combine and make you want to rip in have some more. This is some fantastic juice and I’m sure another bottle will be ordered after the inevitable demise of this one in the very near future!
