Tasting notes

Many years of maturation in traditional whisky casks mellows the maturating spirit and imparts warming layers of vanilla spiciness. Further maturation in European Oak Sherry casks increases complexity, bringing fruity, honeyed depths to the resulting Single Malt. The whisky is transferred to large oak vessels called 'tuns' for three to four months to allow the whiskies from individual casks to marry.
