Tasting Notes
Colour
Radiant deep amber with copper-gold highlights and a burnished mahogany edge.
Nose
Opulent sherry-kissed nose from Glen Ord: dried fig, plum, and raisin mingle with candied orange peel and dark chocolate. Rich oak, leather, and a touch of tobacco provide depth, while vanilla, toffee, and cinnamon lend warmth. At natural cask strength, a resinous spice lingers, inviting a luxurious Highlands bouquet of depth and elegance.
Palate
A voluminous palate of dark fruit—figs and raisins—with orange zest, roasted almond, vanilla cream and cocoa. Sherry richness threads through toffee and spice, delivering cask-strength warmth, velvety oak and a whisper of leather. Long, nutty finish with cinnamon and clove lingering.
Finish
Impeccably long and luxurious, this finish pours warmth that softens into dark fruit, fig and raisin, with cocoa and toasted oak. Spiced with a refined pepper, it carries a whisper of sherry that lingers, gradually drying to a polished, resinous afterglow.
