This single malt was finished in Bordeaux casks, yielding an amber hue and rich toffee and oak aromas. The big, bold palate suggests caramel, sticky toffee pudding, dried dates and roasted nuts, finishing long with hints of allspice and peat smoke. A splash of water brings out milk-chocolate tones. Consider as a dessert pairing. — Kara Newman
