Ultimate Beverage Challenge
Deep copper/chestnut brown color. Rich, luxurious aromas abound of sherry, prunes, cocoa, treacle, cake frosting. Taste profile is oily, creamy, sweet, honeyed, and totally charming in its candy shop splendor. Finishes complex, concentrated, harmonious. A model of malt whisky in its prime.

Baking spice aromas lead the nose. The palate opens with lemon peel and Granny Smith apple tartness. Adding water pulls out mild nutty tones, finishing long with nutmeg, cinnamon and vanilla.

Single Malt

Single malt whiskey, a pinnacle of craftsmanship, is exclusively distilled at a single distillery from 100% malted barley. This meticulous process imparts a unique character, reflecting the distillery's location, climate, and traditional methods. As it matures in oak barrels, it develops a complex flavor profile with malt sweetness, fruity notes, and hints of oak. Cherished for its quality and depth, single malt whiskey embodies a distillery's artistry and distinct terroir. Whether enjoyed neat, with water, or in a cocktail, it symbolizes tradition, expertise, and the rich heritage of whiskey-making.
