Tasting note
Meticulously crafted, this whisky is put through a combination of hand-selected American oak and ex-sherry cask. Pouring bright amber the nose is layered with apple, caramel, mineral and soft smoke aromas; smooth, sweet grain, nuts, spice and soft smoky peat flavours are followed by a long, softly smoky, finish.
Speyside. Mellow, full of fruits and slightly spicy.
Amber with sparkling copper shades. An opulent, mature nose with a sherry influence. An intricate array of wood and fruit: Christmas cake, sultanas, maraschino cherry. Water enlightens the fruity bouquet and brings out vanilla and lighter notes of ripe peaches. Pear and marzipan pie. Luscious barley sugar aromas. This full-bodied whisky is unctuous and mouth coating, almost syrupy. Oak holds the reins back, releasing a drying spiciness of cinnamon, ginger, walnut and dark chocolate. The finish is everlasting and warming with lingering presence of toasted hazelnuts and a full layer of liquorice.
