Nose
Heather honey, sultanas, with a hint of sweet baking spice. A generous sherry influence that is immediately inviting without being overwhelming.
Palate
Butterscotch and very dark chocolate lead, with sultanas returning from the nose. The first-fill oloroso casks provide a rich, rounded sweetness. A gentle warmth builds mid-palate with a pleasing mouthfeel.
Finish
Long and lingering — dried fruits, walnuts, tobacco and autumnal aromas. A gentle mocha quality adds depth to the close.
Expert Review
7.8/10The first release from Ardgowan's Clydebuilt collection — four Speyside and Highland malts married in first-fill oloroso sherry casks by master blender Max McFarlane.
