Tasting Notes:

Nose: Bold aromas of dark fruit, sultanas and fig, enriched by polished oak and sweet spice. Notes of treacle, chocolate and toasted nuts rise beneath, with hints of orange peel and leather adding further complexity.

Palate: Full-bodied, intense and richly textured. Flavours of fruit cake, caramelised nuts and dark chocolate meld with sherry-soaked raisins, burnt sugar and warming oak spice. The high cask strength adds vibrancy while retaining excellent balance and depth.

Finish: Long, warming and deeply resonant. Lingering notes of dried fruit, cocoa, oak spice and subtle citrus create a mature and rewarding conclusion that reflects the whisky’s extended maturation.
