Tasting Notes

Nose

Rich caramel and charred oak — dark fruits, citrus zest, cacao, raisins, plums, deep sherry sweetness, full and complex

Palate

Apple, cinnamon, honey — candied fruit, oak spice, almond, nutty flavours, the 18 years and small batch marriage adding depth the 12 doesn't achieve, rich and satisfying

Finish

Long and warm — oak and sherry, the small batch finishing contributing additional integration, copper-gold elegance in the close

Expert Review

8/10

The world's best-selling single malt grows up — eighteen years in Oloroso sherry and bourbon casks, then nurtured in small batches for a further three months. Deeper, richer, fruitier, and oakier than the 12. Fruit, cinnamon, chocolate, raisins, and mossy wood. A genuinely complex Speyside.
