Expert Review

8.5/10

100% first-fill and refill European oak Oloroso sherry casks, completely unpeated, from Scotland's slowest stills. 21 years of patience from the distillery straddling the Highland Line. Double Gold at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition 2018. Drinkhacker: A-. Whiskybase 87/100. A benchmark sherried Highland malt.
