Colour

Deep amber with a burnished copper glow and a subtle claret tint, a ruby-kissed warmth that hints at its wine-cask finish.

Nose

Ripe red fruits and wine-kissed oak open the nose, with cherry, blackcurrant, and plum mingling with fig and raisin. Subtle cocoa, vanilla, and toasted oak reflect the claret finish, while a refined tannic spine lends structure. Leather and tobacco emerge as the glass rests, yielding a polished, wine-infused aroma with quiet, resinous depth.

Palate

Silky and balanced, this 15-year Speyside delivers red-fruit sweetness—ripe cherry, plum and currant—lifted by claret-cask spice. Medium-bodied with velvety tannins and a gentle oak backbone. The palate lingers with wine-dark richness, a touch of chocolate, and spice, finishing cleanly and elegantly.

Finish

Long, wine-kissed finish, where red plum, cherry and blackberry ebb into toasted oak. Velvet tannins frame a persistent berry sweetness, with a whisper of clove and leather and a final sigh of dark chocolate that lingers, warming the palate with polished, refined elegance.
