Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with copper-gold highlights and a warm mahogany glow.
Nose
Sherry-draped, richly dried-fruit perfume with fig, prune, and raisin mingling with orange zest and a touch of treacle. Toasted almond, vanilla, and subtle spice drift over malt, while a whisper of leather adds depth—an elegant, aged Highland aroma that speaks of quiet refinement.
Palate
Silky and plush, the palate unfolds with Christmas fruitcake richness: prunes, figs, and raisins, layered with dark chocolate, toffee, and orange zest. Sherried sweetness mingles with warm oak, toasted almond, and a hint of spice—cinnamon and nutmeg—threading through a long, velvety finish with a delicate tobacco lift.
Finish
Silky and remarkably long, the finish unfolds with dried cherry and plum, a braid of cocoa and toasted oak, and a gentle dusting of spice. Subtle malt sweetness lingers as a quiet warmth fades into the Highlands air.
