Rites Of Passage Cask Selection 16 Years Old "Distilled at Ledaig" Cask Number:#700021 Single Malt Scotch Whisky Single Cask Release 700ml
This expression from the independent bottler Rites of Passage (via Epicurean Selection) is a single-cask release: matured for 16 years and bottled under Cask Number 700021. According to listing details, the distillation date was 7 February 2008 and maturation involved a first-fill Madeira barrique, bottled on 21 February 2024 with an ABV of 57.1%. The size is 700 mL, and the release is limited (282 bottles) as per the listing.
Nose: Apple-must sweetness and warm earthiness open first, with a hint of sea-air freshness. Notes of warm fruits (perhaps baked apple or pear), rich chocolate cookies and subtle toasted biscuit emerge, along with a delicate barbeque sauce suggestion.
Palate: The Madeira barrique finish brings deep fruit-cake flavours, stewed fruit and rich oak vanilla. A textured mouth-feel, with hints of dried raisins, candied citrus peel, and perhaps a trace of tobacco or leather from the long maturation.
Finish: Long, warming and layered — lingering orchard fruit, toasted oak, gentle spice (nutmeg or cinnamon) and an inviting dryness that rounds off the sweetness of the finish.
