Strathmill 1988 Diageo Special Releases 2014 25yo Refill American Oak 52.4% 700ml information

The Strathmill 1988 Diageo Special Releases 2014 is a remarkable 25-year-old single malt whisky hailing from the Speyside distillery of Strathmill. Renowned for its light and grassy style, Strathmill makes its debut in the Special Releases range with this exquisite expression. Aged in refill American oak casks, this limited edition whisky exhibits a sweet and creamy flavor profile, enhanced by the distillery's signature grassiness. On the nose, this whisky presents a dense aroma with a mild nose-feel, featuring notes of vanilla, tropical fruit, oak, and spice, interwoven with hints of honey. As you take a sip, the palate is treated to a thick and creamy texture, revealing complex flavors that balance between sweet and sour, reminiscent of rowan jelly and glazed greengage tart. Subtle undertones of faint smoke and dark chocolate add depth to the tasting experience. Bottled at a robust natural cask strength of 52.4%, the Strathmill 1988 displays a surprising restraint in sweetness and acidity. The finish is gently drying, leaving lingering notes of dry spice, vanilla, grass, and a hint of orange. Adding a drop of water unveils more fruity characteristics, such as tart gooseberries, along with a slightly waxy texture. Distilled in 1988, this release is extremely limited with only 2,700 individually numbered bottles available worldwide. This is the first extra-mature bottling made by the original distillers and marks the first appearance of Strathmill in this coveted series of limited releases. It offers a rare opportunity for whisky enthusiasts to savor a single malt from a distillery not commonly seen in single malt form.
