Tasting
How it drinks
Sight
Deep amber with mahogany hues; rich and inviting, medium-heavy legs
Nose
Rich sherry with dried apricot, sultana, dark chocolate, and treacle. Orange zest, clove, and cinnamon. More refined than A'bunadh at lower ABV, with better-integrated wood influence
Palate
Full and rounded. Dried fruit sweetness, dark chocolate, treacle toffee, gentle spice. Sherry influence is prominent but balanced — less aggressive than cask strength A'bunadh. Creamy mouthfeel with stewed orchard fruit and gentle oak
Finish
Medium-long finish with sherry warmth, chocolate, and dried fruit. Oak spice is gentle and well-integrated. A bridge between the 12yo and A'bunadh in intensity
