Description:
Spectacularly good - a real "Clint Eastwood" of a malt, mature yet full of verve, with no signs of old age. A scented, balanced and gloriously mellow old East Highland malt; full amber gold with a complex, deep nose, medium to full bodied, smooth, subtle and rounded in flavour.

Nose:
Vivacious for its age; complex, full and deep. Perfume and fruit dominate at first, led by vanilla and Parma violets, black cherries and cooked apricots. Behind them lies a leathery, masculine note leading into burnt sugar, chocolate and mint. Water mellows all. Perfume and fruit give way now to wedding cake, treacle and soft leathery aromas.

Palate:
Pleasantly soft at natural strength. Smoky to start, then a scented and deliciously layered fruitiness that reminds you of a sandalwood box containing sweet treats - Turkish delight, dried fruits, black plum. Water makes themouth-feel more waxy, even teeth coating. The flavour is gloriously mellow and agreeably balanced.

Finish:
Polished leather and boat varnish, then more delicious caramelised fruit.
