Released as part of DIAGEO's 12th Special Releases series, this powerful malt from one of Scotlands most iconic distilleries is aged for 35 years in a mixture of American and European casks. Despite the extra time in oak this whisky loses none of its trademark salt laced peatiness.
With very few bottles left on the open market this is a must for collectors and investors alike.
Flavour Profile: Nose
Marmalade overtones with traditional hints of heather. The nose is soft and complex with traces of tangerine, quince jelly and plums.
Flavour Profile: Palate
Perfectly balanced, peaty and medicinal. The palate is grassy, aspic with aniseed and luscious with rose petals. Rich and flavoursome, but tantalisingly light in mouthfeel despite its age.
Flavour Profile: Finish
The finish is intense and long, delivered with elements of orange rind and buzzing with late spice.
