Tasting Notes
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.
