Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with copper-gold highlights and a touch of mahogany, exuding rich sherried warmth and aged, sunlit depth.
Nose
Opulent sherry-led perfume with dried fig, prune and raisin, brightened by orange zest and burnt sugar. Velvet cocoa and dark chocolate deepen the profile, while tobacco, leather and polished oak add gravitas. Subtle cinnamon and nutmeg threads weave through a warm, lingering aroma that promises remarkable depth to come.
Palate
Silky, opulent and sherry‑driven, it coats the palate with prune, fig and dark chocolate, caressed by toasted almond. Rich fruit sweetness returns with warm spice—cinnamon and clove—beneath polished oak. The finish deepens into espresso, leather and orange zest, trailing a refined, lingering sweetness. A quintessential Highland dram that speaks of patience, craft, and quiet power.
Finish
Exquisite and enduring, the finish unfurls slowly in velvet waves. Rich dried fruits, dark chocolate and orange zest mingle with sherry-soaked oak, weaving spice and coffee-kissed tannins. A warm, refined glow lingers, fading to leather and orchard sweetness.
