The Sovereign Contrast Collection No.1 16y
About
The Sovereign Contrast Collection No.1 is a 16-year-old Speyside single malt that exemplifies the distillery's signature weighty character and fragrant complexity. Matured in first fill sherry hogshead casks, this expression delivers a full-bodied foundation with pronounced cask influence and layered depth. The nose reveals promising fruit and oak notes with subtle sweet undertones. On the palate, this whisky develops a voluptuous mouthfeel with sweet apple characteristics and Craigellachie's distinctive meaty, umami-driven profile that whisky enthusiasts have come to appreciate. The finish carries sherry-wine barrel influences and malty notes, creating a memorable conclusion that rewards patient exploration.
