This is a grain whisky released in 2012. Made mainly from corn, the whisky is distilled in a Coffey still and aged in old casks, such as remade and recalcined casks originally made from American oak to deliver the sweetness and smooth flavours of Coffey still distillates.
This expression was launched in 2020 with a refined formula and a new label design to represent the brand. While remaining a smooth, harmonious malt blend, the formula also features an exquisite balance of elegant sweetness, complexity and depth, as well as a rich, smoky mouthfeel.
