The whisky presents a buttery character that reflects its distillery's signature distillate profile. Notes of Highland cereal grains and vanilla emerge from the ex-bourbon cask influence.
The balanced maturation in equal parts ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks creates a rich, creamy mouthfeel. Butterscotch and orchard fruit notes develop, with subtle oak spice adding complexity.
The finish is warm and lingering, with residual sweetness from the sherry influence fading to dry oak and cereal grain notes.
About An afternoon break in the Highlands: This is an interesting distillery that actually scaled down over time, transitioning from a bulk whiskey producer for blending to a single malt producer. Member feedback has been tremendous regarding previous releases and, here, the buttery distillate takes well to equal time in ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks.
