Part of the Rare Cask Release series from the Highland distillery, this single cask expression is limited to just 479 bottles. Distilled on 25th October 1972 and matured in a Massandra sherry cask for 44 years before bottling in November 2016.
An amazing whisky from 1972 which shows great age but doesn't ever taste too old.
-
Nose
beautiful abundance of dark fruits, BlackBerry jam and a handful of brambles. Prune juice with stewed fruits and some helpings of marzipan.
With time a big aroma of prunes begins taking over. -
Taste
Very full and fruity, gentle cinnamon spice livening up the palate, a gentle tingle. Delicate woody notes, a slight orange bitter but it doesn't manage to take away from the fruitiness and manuka honey.
-
Finish
Slightly drying, some dried prunes, gentle oak and a soft spice.
42.4% ABV
