99.11 Tickled by monstera deliciosa

Cask No. 99.11

Closed Distillery

After inauspicious beginnings, the nose settled dry grass, Golden Virginia, apple turnovers, fruit salad chews, pungent honey, leather marzipan petits fours. The unreduced palate definitely unusual, with the dry, tickly sensation of some tropical fruits (custard apple, monstera fruit); plasticine, washing up liquid and “chewing daffodil bulbs” were also mentioned: peaty hints in the finish. The reduced nose floral and fruity (apples, pears, mandarins) with baklava sweetness, lemon toddy and wood. Some thought the reduced palate “fabulous” with leather, pipe tobacco and “adult sweets” Old English Spangles, apparently). This Peterhead distillery closed in 1983.
