Matured for 18 years, this is indulgent and spicy thanks to the casks 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. - 46% / 70cl
Tasting Notes:
Nose: Intense and warming. Indulgent chocolate and creamy vanilla, with rich honey sweetness tempered by vibrant baking spices. A whisper of flowery fruitiness yields to crisp bursts of citrus and apple.
90 Points - Whiskey Advocate:
"Rich warming aromas of cinnamon, honey oak, and milk chocolate."

Finish: Zesty hints of citrus, sea salt, grass, and green apple enliven a lovely long finish.
