Andrew's Tasting Note

Nose: soft, elegant, floral and seductive; there is a silkiness from the American oak casks it matured in that rounds off exotic fruits like kiwi and papaya; spices, cream and white chocolates filled with old cognac.

Palate: lots of weight for its strength, and a big creamy body that exhibits more silky oak, white chocolate and honey comb; the exotic fruits are still there with more hints of ginger and nutmeg; peaches in cream emerge with lemon drops and the softest, most supple leather.

Finish: long, coating and creamy, and only just starting to show it advanced age with a hint of bitter oak; the fruits, spices and leather slowly fade, leaving the honeycomb, cream and white chocolate all on their own.

Distiller's Tasting Note

Nose: A magnificent combination of honey-drenched dates and succulent raisins which gently ebb and flow with waves of delicate orange blossom, mint and cracked black pepper. Hints of glazed cherries and toasted almonds perfectly complement the seductive nose - a nose to be appreciated slowly and often.

Palate:  A fabulously full-bodied, vibrant palate captures a multitude of classic sherry cask characteristics. The delicate sweetness of rum-soaked golden sultanas refines rich espresso, dark chocolate and treacle toffee. Zesty orange oil softens to a deep clove spice and prolongs the ever-changing palate. A sublime example of understanding the relationship between cask and single malt perfectly.
