Nose
A soft, perfumed opening gives way to delicate heather and a wisp of smoke. The nose is restrained despite the cask strength, suggesting well-integrated oak after thirty years.
Palate
The palate enters sweet and immediately reveals a rich fruitiness that expands across the mid-palate. Aromatic spice and the distillery's signature meatiness build steadily, layered with the depth that only extended maturation can provide. At full proof, the texture is oily and substantial without being aggressive.
Finish
Smooth and remarkably long, with complex spicy flavors that linger and evolve. Faint echoes of heather and dried fruit remain well after the sip.
