Soaring majestically from the Scottish Highlands, this single malt was treated to 12 years of maturation, including a generous period in fresh oloroso sherry casks. It packs a powerful profile, with silky layers of floral honey and roasted nuts bringing balance to aromatic oak and roasted chilli.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt (link new window)
Nose Distant wood polish, stone fruits, and orchard fruits are backed by a subtle hint of capsicum skin. Chilli chocolate and a touch of cassis add depth.
Palate Floral honey and greengages open the way for dry roasted peanuts and earthy layers of roasted red chilli, with a hint of five spice in tow.
Finish Drying oak and a touch of charcoal nestle beneath, while underripe green apple, runny honey and those chilli notes linger.
