Description

This bottle was produced at Ailsa Bay Distillery, and has previously been marketed as Dalrymple. Since William Grant & Sons does not permit independent bottlings to be released under these brand names, this release is named Paddy's Milestone as a geographical reference. Although it has to be labelled as a blend, it is in fact a tea-spooned single malt.

Nose
A very light and straw forward character with a good dollop of sherry on top. Not overpowering, regarding the sherry. A hint of coffee and almond flour. Barley and something floral too. Spring meadows and such.
Palate
The palate is dry and quite fierce. Barley, straw, some pepper seeds. Oak with a bit of wood spices and fruit stones (dates, cherries, plums). The dryness does not dissipate at all, there's a bit of a sawdust like flavor coming up.
Finish
The finish is far less dry and shows more dried fruits and steeped grains. Warming with a hint of sticky toffee pudding. After the sherry wanes slightly, there are notes of dried flowers and straw popping up again.
