What it’s like
One of the most appreciated Speyside malts and a classic example of a cask finish. It matures first in American oak bourbon casks and then spends several months in European oak sherry casks, which give it dried fruit and spice. The result is honeyed, rounded and very balanced, with honey, vanilla and cinnamon. Smoke-free and easy to enjoy, it is a safe gift for those starting to appreciate malts.
- Nose
- Honey, vanilla and ripe fruit, with a touch of sherry and cinnamon.
- Palate
- Honeyed and rounded. Honey, nuts and sweet spice, with vanilla and dried fruit.
- Finish
- Medium to long, warm and sweet, with hints of honey and cinnamon.
