Tasting Notes

Nose: Luxuriant raisin loaf, dark honey and orange marmalade drift over beeswax-polished oak, cocoa powder and a hint of clove. Palate: Silky floods of fig jam, treacle toffee and malted biscuit coat the tongue, followed by clove-spiked chocolate, roasted hazelnut and a bright flash of candied citrus peel. Finish: Long, warming and gently dry—lingering sherry-soaked fruitcake, mellow oak tannin and a final flourish of vanilla-malt sweetness.

Unlock a hush-hush Speyside masterpiece with Speyside [M] 18 Year Old – 2005 Vintage, Signatory Cask Strength. Distilled at a certain world-famous distillery on Easter Elchies ground (shh…), the spirit spent its entire life in a single first-fill Oloroso sherry butt (#41) before being bottled at natural cask strength in June 2024. Non-chill-filtered and natural in colour, this clandestine release yields a limited parcel of richly hued whisky that cloaks classic Macallan orchard-fruit elegance in decadent layers of raisin, chocolate and polished oak. 677 numbered bottles.
