- Description
- Miltonduff's 2008 vintage, finished in an ex–Pedro Ximénez seasoned Octave by Duncan Taylor, channels the richness of sweet sherry into a Speyside malt at 54.1% abv. The PX finish imparts concentrated notes of dried fruit, candied peel, and warm baking spice atop the distillery's typical orchard-fruit character. The octave cask accelerates flavor development while maintaining clarity of spirit and wood influence. This suits explorers of Speyside whisky who enjoy generous sherry influence and cask-strength intensity.
