Cask No. 35.298          

Big bumper bag of buttons

Speyside, Lossie

On the nose neat we immediately had images of peaches poached in bourbon, Battenberg cake, marzipan as well as chocolate and hazelnut stollen. We then took a sip and managed to taste them all next to Swiss rolls, strawberry jam, white chocolate crème brûlée and a cardamom tonka bean cheesecake with caramelised pears. A drop of water and we indulged with a sticky sultana pudding served with golden syrup and a glass of ice wine as we finished on the palate with a big bumper bag of white jazzies (snowies), those classic white chocolate button-shaped sweets covered in multi-coloured hundreds-and-thousands.
