Dramfool Glenmarvellous #4 14 years old 1st Fill Bourbon Barrel

The 62nd release from Dramfool is a another stunning Glenmarvellous from the fantastic secret distillery in Speyside that we cannot name. It was distilled in 2008 and and bottled at 14 years old at cask strength of 55.6%. It is a beast of a dram and the active Bourbon Barrel has imbued the whisky with lots of toffee and a myriad of fruity flavours.

This is Dramfool’s Spirit of Speyside 2023 bottling.
