Released as part of a trio Rare Cask Series bottles released in late 2017, this 30-year-old represents the final seven barrels distilled in 1986.

Tasting Notes
"The nose is leathery, thick, and rich with chocolate, sticky toffee pudding, dried fruits and sultanas. The palate is a beauty of complexity and layered aromas, showing citrusy notes as well as pastries, tobacco leaves, coffee beans and a slight iodine touch. The finish is incredibly lingering with rancio. Overall, if you like a good old sherry bomb with plenty of complexity, this should be something up your alley! "
