Distilled at Blair Athol distillery and matured for 11 years in a Refill Sherry cask.
A superb Single Malt Scotch Whisky, rich and satisfying in the mouth, a feast of dried fruits with touches of praline and candied orange peel – a classic gently sherried style.
Complex, approachable and with depth of flavour beyond it’s years, this is a wonderful example of harmony between cask and spirit.
Nose
Immediate wow factor – dried fruit, peaches, nectarine and Bakewell tart. Jammy and intense. The refill sherry cask adds sweet spice but never overwhelms the distinct distillery character that adds floral notes and a hint of herbal heather. The nose on this whisky is just delightful so take your time.
Palate
A rich palate with dried fruits from the refill sherry cask combining delightfully with cooked stone fruits from the elegant spirit which also provides a gentle herbaceous element that plays with the wood spice from the cask. There’s a touch of cinnamon over a malty nuttiness, mocha and creamy toffee. A wonderful, warming whisky, complex and intriguing yet very approachable and easily tamed with a drop of water.
Finish
A delightful finish balancing fruity notes with spices. Impressive length, improved with just a drop of water.
