Special features: This bottling is part of the Battlehill series by Duncan Taylor, which commemorates the historic battle between Robert The Bruce and John Comyn. The Drumblade 10 years matured in sherry casks and was refined as a blended malt with a "teaspooned" portion of Ailsa Bay whisky. The limited single cask edition is characterized by its careful cask selection and non-chill-filtered bottling.
Tasting Notes:
Nose: Spicy sherry aromas, notes of dried fruits, and subtle smoky hints.
Palate: Full-bodied with flavors of dark chocolate, dried fruit, and a fine malt sweetness.
Finish: Long-lasting, warm with a pleasant spiciness and light oak.
