Used primarily for blends, it is rarely showcased as a single malt. Its style is straightforward, rich, and spicy, with a beautiful natural power, particularly enhanced by aging in sherry casks. A raw gem revealed by independent bottlers. The 100 Proof range refers to the British system of measuring alcohol content, which corresponds to the famous "Navy Strength."

A range to delve deeper into tasting and rediscover the aging work of this independent bottler.
