This exceptional whisky, boasting an ABV of 54.5%, is a blended malt crafted from selected single malts from Islay. Each malt has been matured exclusively in first fill and refill sherry casks, meticulously chosen by the Head Blender, Oliver Chilton, to create a unique flavor profile that marries tarry peat with sweet sherry notes.
Upon nosing, the whisky presents a delightful medley of aromas including sandalwood, tobacco, lemon oil, ginger, mint leaves, and Arbroath smokie. The palate is a harmonious blend of rich flavors, featuring dark chocolate, orange slices, sweet smoke, dried blackberries, smoky black tea, and treacle toffee. The complex and long-lasting finish leaves lingering notes of pudding, brown sugar, black tea, and a hint of rauch and salt.
