Tasting Notes

Nose

Baked apple, raisins, marzipan, ginger and cinnamon spice, orange peel, figs, yellow cake — elegant sherry influence

Palate

Silky and velvety — caramel, milk coffee, malted biscuit, sherry-soaked dried fruit and nuts, ginger-nutmeg spice, sweet-and-sour balance

Finish

Medium-long — filter coffee, ginger spice, toffee, hint of char, fine oak tannins — refined rather than bombastic

Expert Review

7.5/10

100% Oloroso sherry cask maturation — no bourbon wood. Founded 1897 in Knockando, Speyside. Notable for its Saladin malting boxes — mechanical drum maltings once among the last in Scotland, operational until the 1970s. Languished under Edrington before Ian Macleod Distillers acquired it in 2011 and relaunched it as a sherry-focused single malt. Non-chill filtered, natural colour.
