A full, rich and spicy 12 year old single malt whisky. Slightly dry on the finish, this expression benefits from a lot of sherry cask matured whisky which gives it a rich sherry, toffee nose with rich fruitcake, raisins and sultanas palate and a slight hint of minty herbal notes. An interesting whisky with an unusual sweet aftertaste.
Official Tasting Notes
Colour - Polished mahogany.
Body - Medium to full-bodied, but not cloying.
Nose - Muscat grapes and Madeira wine, brimstone in the background, even tar. Dried apricots in the foreground, and treacle toffee.
Palate - Rich and mouth-filling, with a good balance.
Finish - A curious sweetness is introduced at the end after the acidity and dryish finish has passed.
Tasting Rating Guide
1: Light, good for beginners - an aperitif on a summers day, i.e. Glengoyne, Auchentoshan
2: Also good for beginners but with more depth and body - a little stronger than 1, ie. Glenmorangie, Speyburn
3: A dram for everyone, a little more complex so the palate requires a little more experience, i.e. Cragganmore, Macallan
4: A stronger spirit, a big whisky with lots of character and body, excellent after dinner, i.e. Lagavulin, Laphroaig
