Unique and Rare CompositionThe true value of this batch lies in the inclusion of historically irreplaceable whiskies:Whiskies from Ghost Destilleries: It contains rare malts from distilleries that have permanently closed, such as the iconic Ladyburn (closed in 1975).Historic Grain: It includes the very first batch of grain whisky distilled at the famous Girvan distillery, filled into casks back in 1963.Complexity: In total, the recipe blends around 25 of the most valuable malt and grain whiskies from the brand's private stocks.Sensory Profile (Tasting Notes)Due to the long aging process and combined maturation in Sherry and American oak (Bourbon) casks, the profile is dense and refined:Nose: Full-bodied notes of cigar leaf, peach nectar, and Manuka honey. It also reveals hints of spices (nutmeg) along with a vibrant side of oak and antique leather.Palate: Velvety, oily, and very rich mouthfeel. Plump sultanas, cocoa, cinnamon, and the characteristic fruity sweetness of the Speyside region stand out. The balance between the Sherry sweetness and the wood is nearly perfect.Finish: Long and deeply sweet, ending with notes of dark chocolate and a very subtle, elegant touch of smoke.Major AwardsThis exact batch comes from the recipe that earned the brand two of its most prestigious honors:Gold Medal at the International Spirits Challenge.Gold Medal at the Scotch Whisky Masters.
