“Bold statement incoming, but this was certainly one of the best whiskies I’ve ever had the opportunity to taste.”

Thijs Klaverstijn

The World of Whisky
“98 / 100. A wonderful complex whisky. Because of the ride it took me on it is the whisky I rate the highest of everything I ever had, and likely it will stay just that for a very long time.”

Drambling Man
“Profoundly rich and mellow; Christmas pudding top notes, creamy texture and a taste which is at once sweet and savory, with a long finish.”

Charlie McLean MBE

Character

A wonderfully evocative oily nose redolent of candle wax, paraffin and Victorian stately homes, all underpinned by the generous decadence of old grain whisky. On the palate it is vibrant, spicy and mouth-coating with notes of cinnamon and a meandering sweet / dry finish.

Significance

Distilled in the mid-sixties and blended three years later, this unique blend has lain undisturbed in a single refill sherry butt for well over half a century. Bottled at natural strength as a single cask release this is one of the rarest whiskies within our inventory –rich and mature with a majestic antique character and layers of complexity.
