Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with copper-gold highlights and rich mahogany undertones.
Nose
Sherry-drenched nose with dried fig, raisin and plum leading the way, interwoven with orange zest and almond marzipan. Toasted oak, vanilla and cocoa deepen the sweetness, while a whisper of leather and spice adds refinement. Elegant, mature fruit lingers, hinting at a velvet Highland elegance.
Palate
Silky, mid-weight palate with refined sherried sweetness. Dried plum and fig unfurl with orange zest, dark chocolate, and toasted almond. Cinnamon and nutmeg weave through fine oak, delivering a gentle, resinous warmth. Finish is long and polished, with lingering fruit and a whisper of leather.
Finish
Silken and lingering, the finish unfurls with rich sherry sweetness, dark fig and orange peel, and hints of cocoa and toasted oak. A warm, spiced afterglow lingers long, leaving a velvet memory of this quiet Highland classic.
