Description: Inspired by the Musella winerys visit to Bruichladdich, this 13 year old whisky was chosen for Additional Cask Evolution in their own Recioto wine barrels. A uniquely Italian style from the Veneto region; the sweet wine is made by the passito method where grapes are air dried for several months to concentrate flavours, sweetness and encourage Noble Rot. This is an exclusive expression of 900 bottles made especially for Oddbins.
Tasting Notes: The gorgeous aromas imparted by the Recioto float over the olfactory catwalk - orange blossom, toasted pink marshmallow, strawberry, Tay berry & vanilla ice cream. Then the handsome Islay character moves alongside bringing sweet crispy malt, mellow toasted bourbon oak and a cooling Atlantic freshness. Also to be noted is ripe banana smoothie that is the hallmark of well malted barley. There is not a trace of smoke to be found, only the perfume of perfection created by two artisan producers. Bella, bella!
Method of Production: Made from Optic barley peated at only 3ppm phenolic content, then matured for 13 years in first fill ex-Bourbon barrels. The whisky was then finished for a matter of a few months in Recioto della Valpolicella barrels from Azienda Agricole Musella. The whisky was bottled at 46% and non chill filtered to preserve as much flavour as possible.
