Distilled in 1973 in our distinctive Straight Neck stills, this incredible spirit has gone through an unparalleled journey for you to savour. It all started with a gentle maturation in refilled American Oak casks, allowing the liquid with enough time to develop a rich character over time.

Additional maturation in first fill Bourbon casks in 2011, followed by a re-cask in Oloroso Sherry hogsheads in 2017, further enhanced the complexity of this elegant single malt. The result is a light spirit with notes of white flesh fruits and crisp citrus, a tropical character often associated with older fruit-forward whiskies. Owing to its time in the Bourbon casks, the spirit has developed a rich, creamy vanilla flavour that beautifully complements the fruity aroma. The additional influence of the Oloroso cask is evident on the nose thanks to the spiciness of the nutmeg, developing into a warming cinnamon flavour that leaves a wonderfully long finish of woody spice.
