Tasting
How it drinks
Sight
Deep amber gold; rich and lustrous with remarkable depth from three decades of maturation. Very slow legs, viscous body
Nose
Autumn forest — wet leaves, ripe apples, citrus-flavoured marshmallows. A touch salty with traces of nuts. Candle wax and waxed leather with fruit syrups, clementine, and honey. Balanced, mature, slightly restrained
Palate
Very rich and full-bodied. Almost meaty fruitiness mixed with solid earthiness of damp forest floor. Marzipan, vanilla, floral accents, and barbecued pineapple. The sulphury character has transformed over 31 years into savoury umami depth
Finish
Very long finish with refined sweetness, milder sugary notes, and vanilla. The meatiness has become elegant complexity. World Best Single Malt at World Whiskies Awards 2017
