📝 Tasting Notes

👃 Nose

Bold and deeply sherried with concentrated red fruits—cherries, raspberries, and red currants—mingling with Christmas pudding richness. Layers of toasted pecans, dark chocolate-covered raisins, and aromatic baking spices emerge with hints of orange marmalade and polished oak.

👅 Palate

Full-bodied and luxurious with intense sherry cask character delivering waves of stewed fruits, marzipan, and brown sugar. Signature pot still spices build assertively—cinnamon, clove, and black pepper—balanced by creamy vanilla and hazelnut praline notes.

🔥 Finish

Exceptionally long and warming with persistent sherry influence, dried fruit sweetness, oak tannins, and complex spices that evolve and linger beautifully.

🥃 How to Enjoy

Recommended
🥃
Neat

Best for complex single malts and aged expressions. Room temperature in a tulip or Glencairn glass.

🧊
On the Rocks

Works well with lighter blended whiskeys. Use one large ice cube to keep dilution slow and controlled.

💧
A Touch of Water

Opens up the aromatics on cask-strength bottlings. One small drop at a time — you can always add more.
