Tasting Notes

Nose

Rich sherry — dark fruits, orange marmalade, dark chocolate, nuts, golden syrup, manuka honey, peanut brittle, lavender, chocolate-coated raisins

Palate

Beautifully integrated — sweet fruit and malt married with old wood, baking spices, leather — remarkably approachable despite 25 years

Finish

Long and lingering — oak turns dry with spice trailing off, punching above its 43% — a classic Speysider rewarding patience

Expert Review

8.5/10

25 years exclusively in 100% Oloroso sherry casks from the Grant family — independent since 1865, six generations. No chill filtration, no colour added. Exceptional value for a 25-year-old fully sherry-matured whisky. The sherry, oak, and malt feel deeply marinated together after a quarter century.
