Cask No. 80.13 

Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee

Speyside, Spey

An indulgent aroma of very creamy rum and raisin ice cream met the Panel at first before the refreshing and luscious scent of pure pressed white grape juice was added to the mix. Refreshing on the palate neat - like Fisherman’s Friend extra, extra strong throat lozenges – it stung like a bee and took our breath away as we looked for water. On the nose again very relaxing – imagine hanging out linen on the line next to a field with freshly rolled hay bales in a sun-warmed breeze and now (with enough water) soft, smooth and silky like a butterfly in the wind.
