Teaninich 2008/2022 Mossburn 14 years old Single Highland Malt Scotch Whiskey 70 cl 54.9%

Fourteen years in a used Oloroso cask have given this Teaninich a deep, dark sweetness that plays beautifully against the distillery's usually light style - bottled at full cask strength, unfiltered, uncompromised.

Expert description

Teaninich 2008/2022 Mossburn is a 14 year old Single Highland Malt Scotch Whisky bottled at cask strength, 54.9%, from independent bottler Mossburn Distillers' Vintage Casks range.

Vintage Casks is a relatively new series from Mossburn, where each cask is hand-picked by Master Blender Neil MacLeod Mathieson with a focus on characterful, rare single casks. This Teaninich matured in a used Oloroso sherry puncheon (batch no. #22.0208.SC41), which lent the whisky dried fruit character and a deeper, richer colour.

The whisky was distilled on 22 February 2008 and bottled on 7 November 2022, presented non-chill filtered and with natural colour. Only 685 bottles were released.

Tasting notes

Nose

Raisin sweetness and dark chocolate mingle with a touch of orange peel and warm baking spice.

Palate

Powerful and full-bodied, with stewed fruit, walnut and a pleasant sherry sweetness carried by the high strength.

Finish

Long and warm, with a lightly bitter cocoa note and a final trace of spiced oak.
