Matured for 18 years in Second fill American oak, ex-bourbon casks followed by a period of further maturation in first-fill Spanish ex-Oloroso sherry casks, this is indulgent and spicy thanks to the cask selected for maturation. Taking its character and colour entirely from the casks within which it has been nurtured, this is a deeply warming whisky. The indulgence extends through this single malt with chocolate and spice defining the character but allowing for the influence of more vibrant zesty flavours.
Profil : Subtil et gourmand.
Tasting notes
Nose : Welcome chocolate and creamy vanilla, with rich, honey sweetness tempered by vibrant spices. A whisper of flowery fruitiness yields to crisp bursts of citrus and apple.
Palate : Chocolatery indulgence layered with honeyed spices and Christmas cake.
Overall : Floral notes lend a dash of finesse, while zesty hints of citrus and green apple enliven a lovely long finish.
