Almost never for sale

This Whisky has spent all of its 21 years in an ex-bourbon hogshead. The triple distillation renders the Whisky lighter and softer than its double distilled cousin, and the absence of peat allows the subtler flavours to sing more clearly.

A very fresh and sweet start, with the aromas of late summer. Juicy nashi pear wafts in alongside freshly peeled and slightly green banana. Then sweetness becomes more refined and nutty – a pistachio cannoli paired with a sweet white wine.

The flavour almost starts in the same way as a full bodied pinot grigio, but also incorporates the taste of fresh sugarcane juice cut with a twist of lime.

Then the flavour progresses to light almond-flour cake soused in mandarin orange syrup. The sweet flavours retreat quickly, leaving notes of egg custard rolls and lemon blossom. A quick ambush of intensity, followed by a long winding down of gentle sweetness.
