Product Description

Featured in the 1001 whiskies you must try before you die book

"Gutsy in hue and dignified in tone,intense on the nose and opulent on the palate.Heavy with the intensity of an after dinner selection of petit four, chocolate truffle,walnut and vanilla pod,followed by violet,rosemary and jasmine and a dark espresso hit."

Our tasting notes:

Nose:All grapey, cognac like leading onto notes of bitter orange, dark chocolate, aromatic spices (clove and cinnamon), toasted vanillin oak, hints of old leather, dates, brazil nuts and ginger mocha.

Palate:Sticky dates, baked ripe figs in dark honey, spicy clove and nutmeg, candied orange, bitter chocolate truffles, quite a thick and grapey mouthfeel.

Finish: Thick cut seville dark marmalade on cinnamon toast, bitter espresso coffee grinds, charred oak, stem ginger and late aromatic spices.

The most Cognac like of Single malts aged for 14 years in American white oak and then 4 years in 30 year old Matusalem Oloroso Sherry casks for a luxurious finish.
