Light and silky, this Speyside Scotch, matured in former Bourbon casks for a minimum of 26 years, boasts scents of apples, pears, vanilla and a whiff of jasmine. There's a sweet smoke tone upfront, while flavors of vanilla and custard-like sweetness unfold with each sip, fading to a more delicate floral and lemon curd finish.
“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.
