"If malt whisky is made up of five segments oak,spice,peat,fruit and honey/sweetness-then this is indeed the perfect all rounder, with each of the share in perfect proportion to each other. This is exceptional, rich, full and just oaky and smoky enough to satisfy the palate,"
One of the most highly rated Scottish single malts in the world, simply fantastic and a must try bottle for anyone remotely interested in quality Whisky

"Such has been the staggering consistency of this dram i have thought of late of promoting the distillery into the world's top three: Only Ardbeg and Buffalo Trace have been bottling whisk(e)y of such quality over a wide range of ages in such metronomic fashion."

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with copper-gold highlights and a warm, honeyed glow
Nose
A poised quartet of oak, spice, peat, fruit and honey—each in graceful balance. Toasted oak and vanilla unfold into orchard fruit and apricot, with a whisper of smoke. Sherry warmth glows in the background, complemented by a touch of maritime brine and a refined, lingering sweetness.
Palate
Silky, medium-full palate with a measured wave of oak and vanilla, layered spice and peat smoke, balanced by orchard fruit and honey sweetness. Richly mouth-coating, the peat remains refined rather than biting, while sherry-influenced dried fruit adds depth. A warm, lingering finish of gentle char, cocoa, and mineral tang, inviting another sip.
Finish
Long and refined, the finish delivers warm honeyed fruit and layered spice, buoyed by a delicate peat smoke. Oak and sherry depth linger, fading into a soft, smoky echo with a touch of maritime air on the palate.
