Description

NOSE : Fresh sherry embraces the maltier, more honeyed aspects of Dalwhinnie. Peaty and surprisingly, still heathery. Spicy yet grapy.

BODY : Light to Medium

PALATE : A big, spicy buzz followed by an impressive build up of very clear, well defined malt. After a quick burst of sweetness, a rich, grape effect moves in towards the middle.

FINISH : Lots of oak. Very, very dry with vanilla dominating.
