Tasting Panel
Joining the 12- and 18-year-old expressions, this is the newest release from this Speyside single malt distiller. This batch-strength beauty is 100 proof, but you wouldn’t know from the delicate aromas of honeyed orange and peach tart. The full mouthfeel (thanks to nonchill filtering) starts with a roar of white pepper and nutmeg but soon purrs along with dried apricot, toffee, and spiced pear. The finish of lime-tobacco and walnut is decisive and clean.

Wine Enthusiast
This golden Speyside single malt was aged a full 15 years in ex-Bourbon barrels. The result is a honeyed aroma that mixes fresh apple and pear with a floral hint. The palate opens softly at first, with plenty of fruit and a light veil of peat smoke. Adding water brings more juicy pear, marmalade and vanilla to the forefront, finishing with lingering smoke and spice. Released January 2018.
“A good gulp of hot Scotch Whisky at bedtime–it’s not very scientific, but it helps!”
Alexander Fleming, Scottish inventor of penicillin, prescribed it as a cure for the common cold. Today Single Malt Scotch Whiskies are prized by enthusiasts and aficionados the world over for their rarity, age and complexity. By definition these must be produced in Scotland from a single distillery and made entirely from malted barley, using a pot still. The appearance, aroma and flavor of a Single Malt Scotch Whisky can vary widely depending on whether it was produced in the Highlands, Lowlands Islands, Speyside, Islay or Campbelltown regions.
