Tasting note
The unique use of French Oak increases the intensity of the whisky, resulting in a richer and creamier finish along with a distinctive spiciness. Deep golden in colour expect aromas and flavours of crème brûlée, sweet apple, gentle smokiness and peat alongside of lavendar notes followed by a rich and complex finish.
Medium Speyside Malt. A classic Speyside single malt, matured in a combination of bourbon and sherry casks. The dry, fresh, fruity aromas of apples and pears are subtly enhanced with sweet notes of vanilla and mint toffee.
Deep gold, with intense late afternoon summer sunshine shades. Creamy and rich. Resinous fragrances swirl up before melting into a citrus fruit salad bowl. Orange peel and candied grapefruit aromas. Then, the bouquet opens on buttery notes. Shortbread, almond brandy snaps, vanilla toffee, fudge sauce. A dry spicy echo with a touch of liquorice resonates in the back. Round, sweet, incredibly smooth and velvety. Wood is entirely integrated but present all the way, sweetly enveloping fruity and nutty flavors in an oaky shell. Luscious chocolate fudge lingers on. Lingering with traces of toasted hazelnuts and lightly smoked almonds.
