They have so much stock at Signatory Vintage that they're sharing it with their friends. First, they let La Maison du Whisky rummage around and come back with the Artist range, but now they're also welcoming Daily Dram colleagues into their homes, and letting them take off with a cask or two. This one is a Miltonduff aged in a single first-fill Sherry cask for 12 years. I don't know how many bottles were produced.
Let's Taste It :
The nose is very fresh and mellow, egg custard, brioche, roasted nuts, dates, butter-filled shortbread biscuits, grapes of all colours, golden tobacco, thick honey, a few redcurrants, a mint leaf, waxed wood. On the palate, it's even fruitier, figs, medlars, red apples and blackberry jelly. Brown sugar, soft caramel, some light spices, dark chocolate, dried sultanas. Quite a long finish, very correct, dried fruits, elastic leather, the tobacco turns brown, a few vegetal notes, a grain of coffee.
In Short,
The Sherry is not too overpowering, the character of the distillery is recognisable, and the whole is satisfying, with a slight complexity and a nice freshness. I would have preferred a higher alcohol content, however. The price is not really attractive, so I suggest waiting for a promotion.
Score : 88
