This single malt expression perfectly captures the delicate, fruity style of the eponymous distillery. The ageing process, which includes the use of old Sherry casks, adds depth and deliciousness to the natural charm of this whisky. The complex nose opens with floral notes, complemented by hints of malt, chocolate and cedar. The palate, soft and light, is fruitier and spicier, stretching out its malty, stewed touch with finesse. A whisky of great elegance.
