Top Pick Single Cask Nation Dumbarton Lowlands Single Grain Scotch Whisky 20 Years Old (2000) 750ml Perfect For Gifting [0xBevSjw]

Distilled November 2000 and bottled May 2021.  Aged 20 years in refill Bourbon Hogshead.  Cask #211552.  229 bottles produced. 56.7 ABV.

Color: Reflective Gold

Nose: The corn influence is unmistakable with notes of buttered popcorn, vanilla pudding, and hints of caramel flan but there’s also a pleasing wood spice reminiscent of aircraft kits and even linseed oil

Palate: Demonstrates the unctuousness one might expect from corn distillate but the flavors are of sage gently fried in brown butter, spiced gingerbread cookies, and Boston cream donuts

Finish: Yes, the sweetness remains but there’s a wonderful soft spiciness that quietly builds around the edges.
