Tasting note

Warm spices, raisin, nutmeg, sherry, and caramel on the nose. Well balanced, with overt sweet sherry notes on the palate. Plain chocolate in the medium finish. (Gavin D. Smith, 1001 Whiskies You Must Taste Before You Die, 2012, 2012)

This rich, aromatic Single Malt Scotch Whisky has been created by marrying together whiskies matured on Oloroso and Pedro Ximenez Sherry Butts sourced from Jerez, Southern Spain. The combination of Oloroso Ximenez Sherry casks gives wonderful balance of mocha and dark chocolate interwoven with figs, sultanas, vanilla, fruits and rich spices.

Premium Spirit Release product. Available to purchase starting November 2. “Big, juicy, compelling grape. Absolutely clean and stupendous in its multi-layering. Some caramels are caught up in the genteel squabble between the grape juice and rich barley. Long, faultless and ushering in a chocolate raisin depth; late vanilla and any amount of spice.” 95.5 points – Whisky Bible 2013
