Tasting

How it drinks

Sight
Rich gold with a warm amber tint from the Amontillado finish; medium body
Nose
Lightly oily with sweetly malty character, dried fruit hints of raisin and date, and subtle grape sweetness from the Amontillado cask. Warm and inviting
Palate
Lightly oily and sweetly malty to start, then spicy with rich dried fruit hints of raisin and date. Creamy-smooth with lightly grapey sweetness crisply balanced by warming wood-spice as it dries from mid-palate
Finish
Elegantly drying with persistent Amontillado nuttiness and dried fruit. Wood-spice warmth lingers. More complex than the 12yo core, with the sherry finish adding depth to the Lowland lightness
