| Jim McEwan created this bottling especially for Vintages. It is an expression you will not be able to get anywhere else. TASTING NOTE: This special bottling delivers notes of barley, biscuits, pear and vanilla. Great velvety texture and mouth filling with sweet barley, caramel. The slightest oxidative quality confirmed that Jim used sherry casks (Palo Cortado, no less...) to finish this malt. I feel like McEwan knows exactly what I like in a malt. Go to an older [Kurt] Elling recording, Flirting with Twilight and play Kurt’s version of Moonlight Serenade with this one. (Patricia Noonan, vintageassessments.com, Sept. 2010) |
