Flavor Profile

Nose

The whisky presents a complex bouquet developed through maturation in ex-bourbon and Oloroso sherry casks. Aromas reflect the full-bodied distillate character imparted by the worm tub condensing process.

Palate

This Speyside single malt delivers a robust and multifaceted profile on the palate. The influence of both ex-bourbon and sherry wood maturation creates layers of complementary flavors.

Finish

The finish is breathtaking and lingering, showcasing the depth achieved through the combination of worm tub distillation and dual cask maturation. The interplay of bourbon and Oloroso sherry influences extends through to the finale.

Overall Notes

About My big fat Speyside wedding: This black label strikes all the right chords for us. Starting with a robust spirit from worm tub condensing (less copper contact = fuller-bodied distillate) and maturing in both ex-bourbon and Oloroso sherry wood, the finished single malt here is complex and breathtaking.
