Tasting
How it drinks
- Sight
- Deep amber gold with rich copper tones; the 13-year aging and 100 proof create a full, warm colour
- Nose
- Lovely butterscotch with caramel, honey, corn, oak, pecan, maple syrup, and dried apple. Rich and inviting with notable depth from 13 years of maturation
- Palate
- Grassy caramel, maple syrup, and creme brulee sweetness with sweet corn, oak, cinnamon, and a light apple and peach fruitiness. The 100 proof brings intensity while the chill-charcoal mellowing maintains smoothness. Remarkable value and complexity
- Finish
- Warm medium-to-long finish with complexity. Butterscotch, oak, and corn sweetness linger with gentle spice. Whisky Advocate 2019 Whisky of the Year — deservedly praised for exceptional quality at the price
