TASTING NOTES

COLOUR: Oloroso Sherry.

NOSE: A big sherried Speyside bursting with fruit and plum compote. Vine fruits, a background of sweet creamy chocolate. Surprisingly fresh and accessible, with youthful exuberance.

PALATE: Initial burst of sweetness tempered with spicy oak. Rich, intense fruity notes continue throughout. Oily mouthfeel and texture with toffee and leather making a late appearance.

FINISH: Wonderfully clean spirit married to perfection with the exuberant cask. The spice of the palate fades to a warming sweetness.

as sir nick faldo quoted...

‘It was incredibly fruity and sweet, not what I would expect from such an old whisky, with loads of beautiful flavours that lingered on and on. Just delicious!’

Sir Nick Faldo.
