A rich, dark golden whisky.
An amazing whisky that bellows christmas carols at you. This whisky has the spiciness of mulled wine and the greenness of mistetoe captivated on the nose.
Christmas continues with the taste, rich christmas pudding topped with icing sugar and brandy butter. A silky smooth dram with so much to give. More rich fruit cake at the back of your mouth.
To finish, this whisky has a great flavour of marzipan and christmas sherry.
A divine dram.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Rich, dark golden with warm amber highlights.
Nose
Inviting Christmas-spiced bouquet: mulled-wine warmth and bright mistletoe greens mingle with a rich sherry backbone of dried fruits, fig and orange zest. Subtle almond–marzipan hints rise with dark toffee and oak, delivering a fragrant, velvety nose that hints at festive sweetness and age-old richness.
Palate
Silky and richly packed, the palate opens with Christmas pudding sweetness, icing sugar and brandy butter, riding a wave of spiced mulled-wine warmth. Dark fruit cake lingers into a long finish, with marzipan and a dash of sherry, while a whisper of mistletoe green adds freshness. Luxuriously coats the tongue with refined, festive complexity.
Finish
Marzipan and Christmas sherry linger, a warm, festive sweetness that coats the palate with refined richness.
