Production and Finishing

The whisky's distinctive character emerges from a considered finishing strategy. After 13 years of maturation, this dram spent 2 years finishing in an ex-Oloroso sherry cask, adding considerable complexity. The combination of sherry influence and higher alcohol strength creates a full-bodied, intensely flavored whisky with genuine character.

Tasting Profile

The nose opens with cedar and fresh flowers, complemented by dried fruit and caramel notes. On the palate, citrus and oak dominate with a peppery character and dried spices. The finish is robust, with persistent oak, peppery, and spiced undertones that linger.

Who This Is For
