Established in 1975 and closed in 1993, the product of this short-lived Speyside distillery is rarely seen as a Single Malt Scotch Whisky and this bottling has lived longer than the distillery itself. The refill American Oak hogsheads and first fill ex-bourbon barrels create a complex, attractive and slender whisky, ideal for after-dinner contemplation.
Flavour Profile: Nose
Fragrant cereal and an essence of violet petals begin the sweet aromatic journey. There's a syrupy, yet creamy and mild peppery nature which steps back to reveal a high sharp note.
Flavour Profile: Palate
Intertwined with fruit skins, florals and malt, the palate embraces a heavy and rich natural waxiness at the end.
Flavour Profile: Finish
Light oak notes overlay white and dark chocolate tones for the tempered finish.
