Cask Type:
Refill Bourbon Hogshead, finished in 1st Fill Malvasia Madeira

Colour:
Translucent Yellow Lemon

Nose:
Honeyed sherry notes to start leading you to subtle vanilla with a gentle overlay of palm sugar maturing swiftly to cacao. A touch of sea salt and prune compote.

Palate:
Complex and dry there’s liquorice with just a touch of linseed oil hiding behind it. Crisp and clean the flavours disappear quickly only to reemerge after a brief second for a big finish of rum’n’raisins. Great viscosity.

Finish:
This whisky is all about the finish, there are tannins pulling in the cheeks, sweet black pepper and a hint of good sherry all belying the relatively sedate palate. The flavours grow until your mouth is filled with honey and plum brandy long after the dram is done. A grower not a shower.
