Description

A Speyside malt distillery that is today part of the Edrington Group following its acquisition of Highland Distillers in 1999. Unusually, the distillery and its brand had different owners between 2010 and 2017 when the label was briefly sold to Berry Brothers & Rudd in London. An iconic Italian importer and independent bottler, founded in 1968 by Silvano Samaroli. The company is credited with marketing some of the finest single cask whiskies of all time and is revered for its pioneering approach to presentation and label design. The Dreams series was a 1999 collaborative effort between longtime friends, Mongiardino and Samaroli. [1, 3]

Nose
Superb nose on fresh wood glue that goes far up the nose, powerful for a reduction. The wood is there, dense but very aromatic, on cedar and oak. Concentrated dried fruits. Grilled coffee, caramelized walnut husk.
Palate
Incredibly good palate instantly. Already, the alcohol is perfect, it looks like a 45% cask strength rather than a reduction, all the aromas are exuberant without the alcohol pushing them artificially. Noble wood that gives way to a cream of dried figs and prunes, all seasoned with cinnamon and caramel. A few very ripe tropical fruits (banana, mango, melon) boiled in coffee syrup. Liquorice.
Finish
Warm finish, chocolate dried fruits. Macadamia nuts.
