Two Sisters 31 yr The Perfect Fifth 49.2% 750ml Ex-bourbon Hogshead; Special Order Only 1 Week Notice
| Description: | History,. Distillers can be very protective of their hard-won malts, especially those who carry the most prestigious of names. From time to time, they must relinquish the hold on their casks, when one is sold to an independent bottler, for instance. Before spirit changes hands, the distiller - green-eyed and flush with passion - will take a single teaspoon of another distillerys single malt, and add it to the spirit in the cask. Just a dash it takes, but that whisky can no longer bear the name its distillery of birth. The distillery of origin is a darling of Dufftown, where nine stout stills produce a spirit rich in fruit and notably honeyed. Her sister, nestled close by in the Moray countryside, is where the teaspoon of malt originated. Though nameless, together they are a powerful and stunning pair. Tasting Notes,. Nose: Two Sisters (Burnside) at its very maltiest, though when cool boasts a grassy, gooseberry freshness, despite the impressive weight; warmed slightly and the spices burst our and over the palate like stars in an early night-time sky with the malt thickening now with vanilla and the light sweet fruitiness retreats. Palate: Goes heavy on the barley once more and makes no apology. The weight is as heft as anything on Speyside, give the grain a degree of momentum, sugars, mainly muscovado, dapple the malt, but slowly the oak begins to flex its three decades of muscle to inject a delicate spiciness. Finish: A whisky doesnt stay this long in the cask without the oak not having a say. It has patiently bit its time and waits until now to make its move, imparting various shades of vanilla dense enough for once quieten the barley. A slight tanginess at the death, but still the grain insists on having the final lilting word. |
