Tasting Notes

Nose

Warm waves of marzipan, leather, Ceylon tea. Dried spices, tobacco and sandalwood — precious cargo aromas reminiscent of the East. The first-fill oloroso adds richness.

Palate

Bright complexities — orange peel, rich dark cherries and treacle. The four component malts from Highland and Speyside contribute fruit and grain, unified by the oloroso sherry maturation.

Finish

Dry at first, then gliding into lingering spicy notes with hints of an old leather armchair. A composed, characterful close.

Expert Review

7.8/10

The second Clydebuilt release — four Highland and Speyside malts in first-fill oloroso, with Eastern spice and old leather character.
