A wonderful lighter whisky. From a sherry cask but without the rich colour you will find with other whiskies from the family casks collection. However, it's still rather dark.
This whisky is fresh and lively, and makes for a superb aperitif. A little vanilla first, followed by some smoke, then light citrus notes.
A beautiful full whisky that deserves time for you to appreciate it fully.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Dark amber with mahogany depth and a warm copper glow.
Nose
Fresh and lively on the nose, vanilla pods rise from the oak, a delicate wisp of smoke drapes the frame, and bright citrus zest threads through the sweetness. Subtle sherry influence adds warmth without heaviness, with hints of dried fruit lingering in a polished, inviting aroma.
Palate
Bright and lively on the palate, it opens with vanilla sweetness, a whisper of smoke, and crisp citrus zest. The sherry cask adds warmth and depth without heaviness, leading to a polished mid-palate with oak, spice, and a long, refined finish at natural cask strength.
Finish
Long, refined finish with vanilla sweetness giving way to a delicate veil of smoke, bright citrus and a whisper of sherry warmth. Light oak and a silky fade carry the memory, inviting another contemplative sip.
