Tasting Notes
Official Tasting Notes
Nose: Immediate wow factor – dried fruit, peaches, nectarine and Bakewell tart. Jammy and intense. The refill sherry cask adds sweet spice but never overwhelms the distinct distillery character that adds floral notes and a hint of herbal heather. The nose on this whisky is just delightful so take your time.
Palate: A rich palate with dried fruits from the refill sherry cask combining delightfully with cooked stone fruits from the elegant spirit which also provides a gentle herbaceous element that plays with the wood spice from the cask. There’s a touch of cinnamon over a malty nuttiness, mocha and creamy toffee. A wonderful, warming whisky, complex and intriguing yet very approachable and easily tamed with a drop of water.
Finish: A delightful finish balancing fruity notes with spices. Impressive length, improved with just a drop of water.

An exciting deep rich brown coloured liquid.
A compote of fruit together with dried grapes is lovely on the tongue.
Nicely sweetened syrup is evident too.
Invested in two bottles but will be ordering a third.
Great warming malt enjoyed by two. (One aka Pig)
I know I bought a cask strength whisky but was expecting a nice taste but the strength overpowered the flavor, I found it harsh, but I am not a whiskey conasur. I also bought the secret Orkney signatory cask strength and that was very nice.
