"A rich nose, reminiscent of Christmas cake and lebkuchen, with dry spices. On the palate, notes of red berry jam, pine resin, and treacle toffee emerge."

Select Year

"The whisky presents treacle tart on the nose, exuding sweetness and oakiness. On the palate, it is resinous and oily, revealing a wine-y note, while developing into a dry, woody character with a hint of heat on the finish. Elegant soft fruits like plum and blackcurrant emerge, complemented by rich dark fruit flavors and a robust tannin kick."
