Tasting Notes:

The aroma is wonderfully rich and expressive, opening with ripe plums and dried figs alongside delicate vanilla and a gentle touch of cinnamon. Layers of dark dried fruits, honeyed malt and subtle roasted nuts gradually emerge, creating considerable depth beneath the generous Oloroso sherry influence. The palate is powerful and beautifully textured, revealing pronounced malt richness accompanied by vibrant orange peel and a delicate touch of nutmeg. Dark fruit sweetness provides balance, while hints of caramel, cocoa and seasoned oak introduce additional complexity. The finish is exceptionally long and warming, with lingering cocoa and dried fruits gradually giving way to the distinctive dry spice of mature oak, leaving a beautifully concentrated and sophisticated impression of sherry-matured Speyside whisky.
