Overview 
This single malt whisky showcases the craftsmanship of Elixir Distillers and boasts a remarkable age of 33 years. The maturation began in American oak casks, which are known for imparting rich vanillin and caramel notes. Following this, the whisky underwent a finishing process in Cognac casks, adding layers of complexity and depth to its flavor profile.

Tasting Profile
Appearance: 
The whisky presents a deep amber color, reflecting its extensive aging and interaction with the wood.

Nose: 
On the nose, expect a luxurious bouquet featuring dried fruits, such as figs and apricots, intertwined with elegant notes of toffee, vanilla, and a hint of spice. The influence of the Cognac casks is noticeable, offering a subtle floral and citrus character.

Palate: 
The mouthfeel is rich and velvety, delivering an intricate mix of flavors. A harmonious blend of sweet oak, dark chocolate, and nutty undertones emerges, complemented by fruit notes reminiscent of ripe peaches and plums. The Cognac finish contributes complexity, with hints of brandy-soaked raisins and a touch of warm spices.

Finish: 
The finish is long and satisfying, characterized by lingering sweetness and a delicate spiciness. The interplay between the oak and Cognac influences leaves a lasting impression, inviting you back for another sip.
