A RARE TREAT
Some members may recall we’ve had a string of these 19yo 63’s in the last 12 months, this being the third so far, and they are nothing short of phenomenal examples of rich, earthy spirit, long-aged in 1st fill wood. Sumptuous examples of how well this spirit works at both young and old, the distillate character of 63 is often notes of SPC tinned fruit, which this one has, but also oozes freshly baked bread, vanilla wafers, marshmallows, and cookie dough.

A freshly baked soft, fluffy and slightly sweet slice of braided yeast bread (Hefezopf or challah) topped with sugar crystals and sliced nuts spread with butter – a light and tasty treat! On the palate a rich New York cheesecake which had a dreamy creamy flavour with a hint of lemon and vanilla wafer crumbs as the crust. Following reduction we enjoyed marshmallows, chocolate limes, cookie dough and melon balls as we drank a luscious Melontini cocktail – crema di melone, vodka, Amaretto liqueur and cream all shaken, strained into a Martini glass and then garnished with melon balls - living la dolce vita!
