In stock
Only a precious 101 decanters could be extracted from this 42 Year Old Single Cask. A fourth fill Oloroso Sherry hogshead cask brought the liquid to maturity, with a considerable angel's share lowering both the ABV and volume. Bottled at cask strength (48.6% ABV) and natural colour, this is an expressive and unique whisky.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep natural amber with copper-gold highlights and mahogany undertones—a warm, inviting hue that hints at sherry maturity.
Nose
Opulent sherry perfume unfolds with dried plum, fig and raisin, edged by candied orange peel. Nutty almond and walnut mingle with cocoa, treacle and a kiss of vanilla, revealing Oloroso depth. Whispered spice—cinnamon and clove—adds elegance, while leather and polished oak lend a refined, warm finish to this rare, cask-strength expression.
Palate
On the palate, velvety and cask-strength, Oloroso ushers in notes of fig, raisin and prune with orange zest, cocoa and toffee. Rich almond and walnut add nuttiness as spice—cinnamon, clove, nutmeg—warming the mouth. Balanced oak delivers a long, elegant warmth that lingers.
Finish
Long and luxurious, the finish is bathed in rich Oloroso sweetness. Dried fig, raisin and walnut mingle with warming spice and a hint of dark chocolate, carried at cask strength. The sherry imprint lingers like velvet, fading to a refined oak-kissed echo.
