Tasting
How it drinks
Sight
Warm amber; deeper colour than the 13yo reflecting additional sherry cask influence. Natural colour, non-chill filtered, medium-heavy legs
Nose
Vanilla and rich exotic fruits open the nose — canned pineapple, silky dried fruit, and a hint of smoky liquorice. Pastry, dried barley, porridge, and biscuits emerge beneath, with a very faint sulphury wisp
Palate
Rich and oily. Sweet pineapple and custard creams lead before the signature meaty character shines through. Creamy cereals, vanilla pods, black liquorice, charred oak, caramel, white pepper, ginger, and a faint whiff of smoke. Thick mouthfeel from worm tub condensation
Finish
Smooth, sweet palate transitions to a smoky, lingering finish. The meatiness and sulphury depth persist longer than the 13yo, with charred oak and liquorice on the fade
