Tasting

How it drinks

Sight
Deep amber-gold; full body with luxurious viscosity from three decades of maturation
Nose
Pipe tobacco, white pepper, and mildly herbal notes opening to vanilla, green berries, and ginger. Complex and evolved — the Highland gentleness has aged into something profound
Palate
Full-bodied, supple, and creamy with orchard fruits and white pepper. The 30 years have concentrated the spirit while the oak provides structure. Elegant and restrained despite the intensity
Finish
Very long with persistent orchard fruit, white pepper warmth, and vanilla oak. A whisper of smoke appears at the very end. Extraordinarily balanced for its age
