“A wonderful blended Scotch whisky. The whisky itself is bright gold in colour with a baked apple and Demerara sugar note on the nose. On the palate there is a sweet toffee note with just a touch of smoke and an integrated finish.”

Scottish Field
“The greatest blends are masterclasses of harmony and complexity: this 46-year-old offers multiple layers of ripe orchard fruits, then zesty mandarin slathered in vanilla cream – as well as an undercurrent of malty cereal notes and an expanding hint of aromatic smoke. Not remotely showy, but complex and endlessly fascinating.”

Richard Woodard

Decanter Magazine
“Heather pollen and a hint of beeswax, supported after a while by apple pie and, fleetingly, strawberry jam. The texture is teeth-coating and smooth with some light spice in the finish.”

Charlie McLean MBE

Character

On the nose there is the warming character of syrup, treacle and baking aromas alongside antique notes of manuscript paper and old books. The palate brings a hint of smoke, bright flashes of lemon pie and a mouth-watering aspect with a long and wonderfully smooth finish.

Significance

This exceptional blend was first created in 1994 to commemorate the 500th Anniversary of the oldest recorded reference to Scotch whisky within the 1494 Exchequer rolls of Scotland. Since first being blended, the spirit has lain in cask for a further 28 years, developing with every year and building into a truly exceptional, fully-unified Blended Scotch Whisky.
