- Description
- Dufftown's 2008 vintage finished in Pineau des Charentes showcases the distillery's signature nutty and spicy Speyside character transformed by an unusual cask influence. The Pineau finish introduces round, orchard fruit notes alongside apricot, butterscotch, and marzipan, while nutmeg and warming spices provide structure. Bottled at 52.9% ABV, the spirit carries enough weight to balance the cask's sweetness without becoming cloying. A sophisticated dram for those exploring beyond standard cask finishes.
