Tasting Notes

Aroma of heavily toasted oak spice and nuttiness. Espresso coffee and dark chocolate infused with sweet aromatic smoke. On the palate sweet spices. Crushed black pepper. Toasted almonds and spiced chestnuts, chocolate honeycomb, creamy salted fudge and smoky bacon. The finish is long, spicy and resinous. Smoky sherbet, toasted pralines and lingering dates.

Filled on 4 December 1998 into a bespoke toasted-oak hogshead and nurtured in Warehouse 2, this whisky was drawn at natural cask strength on 10 December 2008 and reserved for the following spring’s festival.
