This limited edition version was originally aged in traditional oak casks before being finished in Agave Tequila casks. The tequila used to create this expression originally contained a high-quality 100% Agave tequila produced from 7-8 year-old Agave tequilana, grown exclusively in the Altos (Highlands) region of Jalisco. Highlands tequilas, like this one, are known for their fruitier, more floral character.

Nose: Oban Little Bay whisky reveals maritime and salty notes, followed by aromas of tropical fruit and honey. Mouth: On the palate, this Highland single malt reveals flavors of dried fruit, dark chocolate and sweet spices. Finish: The finish is long and warm, with subtle hints of oak and smoke.
Nose: Punchy sweet oak and fresh vanilla pods, mingled with toasted coconut and flaked almonds. Notes of lemon zest and poached, spiced pears emerge with time.
Palate: A wonderful balance of Speyside fruit and oak spice. Sweet cinnamon sugar, vanilla custard, and melting banana toffee, layered with earthy nuts and a distinct caramelised warmth from the toasting.
Finish: Long, warm, and slightly dry, featuring lingering oak spice, fennel, and subtle hints of menthol and tobacco.
Nose: Overall dry, vinous impression supported by spicy, woody notes. Seductive aromas of tart red berries, vanilla, a hint of wax. A little water softens the nose and relaxes the aroma, without much alteration.
Mouth: Ultra-unctuous, gourmet texture. Barley sugar, pinch of salt, suggestions of currant and crunchy grape. At reduced strength, it's not as tart, but still spicy; the sweetness is enhanced but the mouth-watering spicy heat remains.
Finish: Long and dry with pepper and mild spice. With milder water, now with a trace of fondant in the aftertaste.
Nose: Glenmorangie Cavaldos Finish reveals sweet aromas of caramelized apples, vanilla and dried fruit. Feel: On the palate, this whisky reveals notes of ripe apples, pears, toffee and cinnamon, with a touch of nutmeg. Finish: The finish is long and spicy, marked by subtle notes of oak and red fruit.
