What it’s like

A Highland malt much appreciated by sherry lovers. It matures in Pedro Ximénez and oloroso casks, so the profile is dominated by dried fruit, chocolate and spice, with a dense, oily body. Bottled at 43% ABV, it is rich without being heavy and offers plenty of flavour for its price. It is the ideal option for those who enjoy desserts, sweet wines or turrón.

Nose
Raisins, prunes, figs and dark chocolate, with candied orange, cinnamon and an oak background.
Palate
Dense and oily. Dried fruit, toffee and cocoa, with sweet spice, walnut and a hint of oak.
Finish
Long and warm, with hints of sherry, chocolate and spice.
