Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with copper-gold sheen and warm mahogany undertones.
Nose
Rich dried fruits—fig, raisin and prune—rise from a sherry-sweet core, braided with orange zest and dark toffee. Warm spice—cinnamon and clove—threads through toasted oak and malt, with a whisper of cocoa. At cask strength, the nose is dense, luxurious, and inviting, hinting at the depth and concentration to come.
Palate
Full, velvety palate of rich dried fruits—raisins, figs and plums—carried by sherry sweetness. Warming spices—cinnamon and clove—unfold over layered oak, with cedar and toasted wood accents. The malt-forward, cask-strength profile remains substantial, finishing long with warm fruit, spice and oaken warmth.
Finish
Rich dried fruit sweetness lingers, mingled with warming spice and layered oak depth. The sherry-cask influence extends into a long, comforting finish, carrying a malt-forward warmth that slowly fades with elegant notes of spice and oak.
