Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with coppery highlights and mahogany edges, a warm, inviting hue that gleams with decades of sherry-cask maturity.
Nose
Elegant Speyside bouquet of delicate orchard fruits and white florals, grown richer by sherry-cask maturation: dried figs and raisins, a touch of cocoa, and gentle spice—cinnamon and clove—along with polished oak. A mellow, mature aroma that speaks of decades of refinement.
Palate
Silky and polished on the palate, it delivers dried fruit sweetness from sherry cask maturation—fig and raisin—paired with gentle spice and refined oak. Light orchard fruit and floral hints weave through, yielding a mellow, elegant mid-palate and a long, dignified finish.
Finish
Long, refined finish with sherry-imparted sweetness lingering beside toasted oak. Dried fruits such as raisin, fig and apricot unfold at a measured pace, complemented by soft spice and a mellow, graceful oak glow that persists with quiet elegance.
