Tasting Notes
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.
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.
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.
