This malt whisky is dark, rich and luscious. The whisky expresses those typical notes that you would expect from a full maturation in an Amontillado cask. The whisky has notes of orange and sultanas. When you give the whisky a little time in your glass and the aromas become warmer and deeper with the complex character unfolding. The unique qualities of this whisky come from the use of a crystal clear wort that is slowly fermented for 7 days and the slow distillation method with the relatively early cut point. After distillation the whisky had a full maturation in amontillado casks that give the whisky its beautiful color and adds to the elegance rich warm notes.

Tasting notes:

Color: Gold

Nose: Fresh and citrussy when just poured but with a little time it develops into a deeper complex whisky that has a definite lemon and citrus character to balance those noters of dries sultanas and chocolate.

Taste: Luxurious and rich, wonderfully balanced. The character from the full maturation in the amontillado casks balanced by the citrus aroma’s combined into a whisky with a rich, warm dried fruits quality that probably comes from the casks and in the background the trademark spiciness and a pleasant bitter note that adds complexity.

Finish: Middle long and luscious with an elegant and pleasant sweetness
