Tasting Notes
"A quarter century in the cask has transformed peaty smoke on the nose to shoe polish and putty, with lighter notes of salt and fruit. The palate showcases a spicy, dry oak profile, but the influence of sherry is felt as well, with honey and nuttiness, and touches of vanilla and toffee. Overall the smoke is much softer here, with wood playing a larger role. Long, pleasant finish."
