Tasting Notes
Distinguished by its profound earthiness and smoky allure, this 13-Year-Old Oloroso Cask Finish whisky from Islay captivates the senses with its bold complexity. The aroma greets you with notes of rich coffee grounds and cacao, interwoven with a subtle minerality that sets the stage for a layered olfactory experience. As you sip, the palate unveils a delightful marriage of buttery sourdough bread embraced by the sweet essence of raspberry jam, complemented by the depth of blueberries and a hint of salted toffee. Undertones of prunes and dates linger, accompanied by a robust, tarry smoke that dances on the tongue. The finish is a lingering embrace of charcoal and bonfire embers, harmoniously balanced with the syrupy sweetness of poached stone fruits and a delicate trickle of toffee. This intensely sherried single malt, matured for 13 years and finished in an oloroso sherry octave, is a remarkable embodiment of Islay's coastal peat smoke heritage, intertwined with layers of fruity indulgence.
