Tasting Notes

Nose

Honeyed fruit, cinnamon, ginger, clove, toffee richness — refined sherry depth

Palate

Dry sherry fruit, malty cereal, prune, baked fig, charred oak — the Oloroso finish prominent

Finish

Warming spicy fruit, lingering — the 40% holds it back from greatness

Expert Review

7/10

Founded 1812 near Cawdor; in 1833 became the first distillery awarded a Royal Warrant by King William IV — 'The King's Own Whisky.' 16yo finished in first-fill ex-Oloroso sherry casks. Part of Dewar's Last Great Malts. 40%. Elegant sherried Highlander.
