Regular price $200.00 Sale price $152.97 Save $47.03
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 flavors.

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.
Awards/Reviews:
Best Scotch Highlands Single Malt (13-20 Years) - World Whiskies Awards 2024
"The nose reveals peachy, dried fruit aromas, golden syrup, caramel, and brown sugar, enhanced by hazelnut, toasted almond, green apple, cinnamon, and white pepper. Robust marzipan, Turkish delight, and peach rose water further define the profile, complemented by sweet toffee, milk chocolate, and gentle wood spice. The palate enjoys liqueur-soaked raisins, red fruits, and a decadent chocolate fruit sponge cake finish. Coconut cream and cherry cola nuances intertwine with hazelnut and cake, creating a superbly fruity and floral bouquet."

"Ripe orchard fruit, with warm honey and sweet vanilla on the nose, met beautifully with fresher flavors of citrus peel and lime marmalade on the palate. Rounded and creamy, with delicious notes of banana milkshake on the finish."
