Tasting Notes

Nose

Mulled cider, dried apricot, clover honey, toffee, lemon zest, wet moss — deeper and richer than the 10

Palate

Oranges, tangerines, mango, toffee, vanilla, leather, gentle spice, light chocolate, figs — remarkably rich for the price

Finish

Medium-long — warming spice, sweet and creamy, hints of raisins and apple jam — a genuine Speyside bargain

Expert Review

7.5/10

A significant step up from the entry-level 10. American oak and Spanish oak casks. Non-chill filtered, 46%. The added sherry cask influence and body transform what was a pleasant budget malt into a genuinely impressive Speyside. Remarkably rich and thick for the price. Charles Doig's 1897 distillery, maturing beautifully.
