Tasting note

Deep, dense and luscious, maturing fragrant honey aromas. Quite sweet but a salty nip to freshen. Good complexity with moist raisins, sweet spice and hints of violets and vanilla. The palate opens with mature, nutty, dusty Oloroso, followed by moist raisinated fruit, walnuts, dark honey and elegant, delicate salty notes, which balances the sweetness well. Long and succulent finish with a touch of vanilla and coffeed spice coming through. A stunning, mature, sherried Islay. World Whiskies Awards Rating:Best Islay Single Malt 21 Years and Over. Score - Category Winner. (World Whiskies Awards, 2015)

Then picks up speed developing some tremendous seaside characters along with dark sugar, caramel and coffee. Mellow and mature in the mouth with gentle peat smoke backing and some ripe tropical fruit with mango very evident. Hints of orange, ginger, liquorice and vanilla add to the complexity. Great climax of a finish. A gorgeous, gentle giant.” Gold Medal – 2013 International Spirit Challenge (ISC)
