Tasting Notes

Nose

Toffee, cracked black pepper, gentle peat smoke, forest fruits, dark chocolate, dried banana, oiled leather — deeper than the 10

Palate

Creamy and sweet — ripe apples, charred oak, leather, dried apricot, waxiness, meaty character with sherry dried fruits and maple syrup

Finish

Dark chocolate, toasted malt, orange peel, subtle smoke — medium length, creamy, the 15 years adding sherried depth

Expert Review

8/10

A step up from the 10 — greater depth and sherried richness. Matured in ex-sherry and ex-bourbon casks. The light peat gives dimension that most Speysiders lack. Gordon & MacPhail's expertise in cask selection is evident. 43%. Multi-layered complexity with interplay between light peat and sherry.
