This bottle was featured on Day 18 of our 2020 KWM Whisky Calendar.
New to the core range (for 2019), the 15 is said to be the "jewel in their crown". Bottled at 46%, the whisky was finished in puncheons and hogsheads that previously held Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso sherry.
50 mlEvan’s Tasting Note
Nose: Dark chocolate, freshly ground coffee, polished leather, prunes, dates, blackberry jam, nutmeg and MacKintosh’s Toffee.
Palate: Palate coating and rich with plenty of caramelized sugars, raisins, milk chocolate coated almonds, espresso, cafe mocha, chocolate mousse, cinnamon, and a touch of apple pie
Finish: The chocolate and dried fruit notes stick around with the throat coating warmth.
Comment: If you are an unabashed lover of heavily sherried Single Malt and you have not had this, then you need to change that now. You need to find a spot in your cupboard or on your shelf for this one.
