  • “The candied fruit on the nose gives way to dark toffee and liquorice on the palate, with a pleasantly dry and oaky finish, recalling the sweet shops of yesteryear.”

  • “It may be the power of suggestion, but after an initial hit of ripe red fruits, scents of boiled sweets and mint toffee leap from the glass.”

  • “Whiskies such as this transport the imbiber to lost places that cannot be revisited any other way. ”
    The Luxury Editor
  • “There is no doubting the aptness of the name on this bottle – a tour of the jelly sweets, sherbets and even the furniture of an old sweet shop.”

Character

Familiar sweet shop notes of liquorice and luscious candied fruit greet the nose. On the palate, initial caramelised notes lead into a darker treacle toffee and liquorice character. The finish is long and complex – moving slowly from sweet to dry with flashes of leather and oak recalling old wooden counter-tops.

Significance

Certain whiskies have the ability to transport the drinker back to lost places that cannot be revisited any other way. Such is the case with this remarkable aged malt, rich with the treacle toffee, liquorice and candied fruit notes found in old sweet shops. Warming, enormously satisfying and lightly drying on the finish, years of marrying in refill sherry butts have created a fully unified, wonderfully evocative malt whisky.
