Description

A historic malt distillery located in the Highland region of Scotland. Since 1989 it has been Japanese-owned as part of the Asahi Group. Although it only produces single malt today, the distillery dabbled in grain whisky production from 1955 to 1984, even producing rare examples of single blends. *

Nose
Hints of almond paste, metal, polished brass, and bright tropical fruits (dragonfruit, peach, apricot) with an undeniable sherry influence. Also notes of damp oak, burlap, soy, brioche, tobacco, butterscotch, strawberry, honey, fresh apples, pears, and a waxy, floral, heathery character. [1, 3, 6]
Palate
A combination of oak spices, classic sherry cask flavors, and trademark tropical fruitiness (bananas, peaches, guava, grapefruit, mango). Rich and decadent with caramel, mountain herbs, cocoa, stone fruits, cloves, fennel, burnt toast, pepper, tobacco, and red fruits. Sweet, sugar-coated pear drops and apples are also present. [1, 3, 6]
Finish
Long and indulgent, with a perfume of oak, caramel-honey, peach, raisins, and a huge fruity spiciness. Chewy tannins prevail without overpowering the robust barley, with vanilla cream and gingery heat lingering. [1, 3, 6, 7]
