A blend of two casks with complementary characteristics: one finished for 64 months in second-fill Oloroso sherry, the other for the same period in second-fill Pedro Ximenez.
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: Opens with fresh, salty, oceanic notes. Develops on sweet, peat-dried malt. Mouth: Charred oak, chimney smoke, rock pools and summer tar. Finish: Long and persistent with brown sugar, ash and very phenolic.
Nose: Rich in dried fruit and slightly vinous, notes of breakfast cereal.
Mouth: Notes of cereal, orange, marzipan, slightly tannic, medium-bodied, fresh and mineral with notes of toast and pastry.
Finish: Dry, spicy a pleasant contrast of honey and salted peanuts.
