Tasting Notes

Nose

Honey, melon, mint, vanilla, walnut, apple skins, banana, sherry influence, a touch of struck match — fruity and inviting

Palate

Soft, creamy mouthfeel — honey, melon, mint, nut brittle, vanilla bean, light cinnamon, clove — fruity and silky throughout

Finish

Long and sweet — Galia melon, light spice, sugary glaze — the sherry casks providing warmth without heaviness

Expert Review

7/10

Founded 1878 in Rothes, Speyside. Long the secret backbone of Cutty Sark and Famous Grouse blends. Owned by Edrington since 2017. Part of the Soleo Collection launched 2018, replacing the vintage-dated range. 'Soleo' references the traditional sherry-making sun-drying process. Matured in Oloroso, PX, and bourbon casks. Natural colour, non-chill filtered, 40%.
