"Arguably the best all rounder of the blended whiskies. With oak there are red, orange, yellow and green fruits, with spice, peat and honey. But the outstanding marriage here is that of venerable, old and sherried whiskies and fresh, zesty, younger ones. Brilliant!"

Tasting Notes
Colour
Rich burnished amber with sunlit honey-gold highlights and coppery undertones, deepened to russet at the rim.
Nose
Oak-rich and luxurious, the nose unfolds with a fruit-forward core—red, orange, yellow and even green notes—layered with spice and a whisper of peat. Honeyed sweetness sweetens the ascent, while venerable, sherried whiskies mingle with bright, zesty younger spirits, delivering depth, balance and refined opulence.
Palate
Silky, medium-bodied with oak-driven structure. Layered fruits—red, orange, yellow and green—rise alongside spice and a whisper of peat. Honey notes mingle with sherry depth, while bright, zesty younger malts keep it lively and impeccably balanced.
Finish
Silky, lengthy finish with warming honey and toasted oak, as spice unfurls into citrus zest. Sherried depth lingers, weaving dried fruit and a subtle peat echo, leaving a refined, resonant warmth that slowly fades.
