This bottling is predominantly from ex Bourbon casks with a generous top dressing of ex Oloroso Sherry casks, to create added depth and greater complexity. It has been bottled at 46%, without chillfiltration, to retain the true cask character.

Nose - Herbal and grassy with sweetened smoke.

Palate - Chocolate oak over spicy, earthy smokiness. Complexity rolls over the tongue.

Finish - Smouldering burnt heather on Highland hills.
