About

This enigmatic Speyside Single Malt from 2009 is an intriguing independent bottling by The Caskhound, known for experimental cask finishes. After 15 years of maturation, this expression underwent a distinctive 732-day finish in an ex-Ledaig sherry hogshead, creating a compelling fusion of classic Speyside refinement with smoky, layered complexity. Despite its relatively youthful age for this quality level, the whisky already displays a rich, creamy character with a pleasant medium-length finish. On the nose, you'll discover subtle floral aromatics alongside vanilla, fudge, and caramel notes, with hints of dried apricots and sultanas. The palate presents sweet malt meeting roasted, smoky flavours, complemented by orange peel and chocolate undertones. The finish offers only a whisper of the sherry cask influence, suggesting this bottling may benefit from further maturation in bottle to fully realise its considerable potential.
