Fifteen years maturing in American oak and Spanish oak casks have allowed this bold whisky to embrace the rich, natural elements of Speyside. COLOR: Amber with gold highlights. NOSE: Hints of rich dark chocolate with spicy notes of raisins, zesty citrus fruits and vanilla. TASTE: On the palate there are notes of oranges, toffee, vanilla and leather, all wrapped together with a gentle spice. The long lasting finish has a warming spice which is sweet and creamy.
