Miltonduff 10 Year Old (G&M Discovery)

This 10-year-old Speyside single malt from the Miltonduff distillery is independently bottled by Gordon & MacPhail for the Discovery series. Each release in the range is presented in a style that places it within one of three flavour profiles—Sherry, Smoky, or Bourbon—and this expression sits firmly in the Sherry category. 

Nose:
Chocolate and sticky orange marmalade transforms into juicy plump stewed raisins and sweet baked apple, freshly cut grass notes delicately balance the rich sherry influences.

Palate:
Sweet and spicy: comforting butter candies weave with roasted hazelnut followed closely by orange zest, cinnamon, and mouth-warming pepper maturing into plum and fig jam.

Finish:
Long with highlights of chocolate and stewed fruit finishing with lingering winter spices.
