Tasting Notes
"The salty tang and mild peat smoke their 14 year old bottling has is still present in this dram, but perhaps slightly intensified along with a buttery, nutty flavor. The typical raisin-y fruitcake note sherried whisky tends to have appears, but it is of a moderate nature. The weight of the whisky has plumped up, much like one does after winter holiday meals, but the Distillers Edition wears it quite well."
