Matured for a quarter-century, this expression embodies the perfect elegance and depth of sherried-ness that comes with extended aging. An excellent Speyside whisky that strikes all classic markers of fruitiness, spiciness and smokiness.
Tasting Note by Gordon & MacPhail:
Nose: Hints of baked apple, stewed raisin, and cinnamon enhance rich Sherry influences. Sweet liquorice aromas develop enhanced by light floral nuances. A polished oak edge remains.
Palate: Sweet and spicy; date, prune, and raisin flavours complement warming pepper. Hints of cinnamon and clove add spice. Tangy blackcurrant notes mix with sweet cherry jam and candied citrus fruit.
Finish: A nutty edge balances the lingering oak notes.
