Tasting
How it drinks
Sight
Warm amber with copper highlights; deeper colour than the 10yo from sherry cask influence and extended maturation
Nose
Quieter, more refined smoke than the 10yo. Sherried notes of leather and iodine. Salted smoke with floral hints. Velvety dark chocolate, cherry, stroopwafel. Smoked ham and hazelnuts. Elegant complexity
Palate
Medium-full body. Velvety dark chocolate and cherry lead. Stroopwafel sweetness, smoked ham, fried Brussels sprouts with hazelnuts. Sherried depth meets maritime peat. More contemplative and layered than the boisterous 10yo. The smoke recedes to let aged oak and sherry speak
Finish
Long finish. Leather, iodine, gentle smoke, sherry warmth. Dark chocolate and cherry persist. A sophisticated island peated malt. US MSRP $176.99
