This superb Whisky was matured in a combination of ex-Bourbon and ex-Sherry casks for a total of 15 years. This is a rich and flavoursome Single Malt with plenty of that signature coastal character; vanilla and honey with the faintest hint of brine featuring throughout. Nose: Intense yet balanced. Bursting with rich dried fruit, ripe applea nd citrus, with honey sweetness and a generous chord of creamy vanilla. Slightly chocolaty and floral in the background. Palate: Fragrant spices and Christmas cake, with layers of chocolate and a distionct dark toffee sweetness. Finish: There is a hint of salty sea air on the finish, a clear connection to the influence of the sea on this Single Malt.
