« Leather-gloved drivers raced vintage cars. the air thick with the scent of hot oil. waxed leather interiors. and fresh leaves unfurling in spring. »

Colour : Mahogany

Nose : A deep scent of burning rubber on a racetrack mingles with the grease-streaked aroma of a vintage engine, before melting into waves of smoke-drenched caramel, vanilla cheesecake, and coconut-infused rice pudding.

Palate : A wild ride, smoky tyres and hay bales meet maple-drizzled waffles and oxtail soup in an earthen bowl. Turkish delight wrapped in milk chocolate dances with baked apples, autumn leaves, and spiced orange hot chocolate, while hints of flaxseed and dunnage warehouses whisper of old-world charm.

Finish : A long, creamy finish lingers with salted porridge, spiced chocolate fondue, and the well-worn leather of a mechanic’s gloves, dirty, smoky, and utterly enchanting.

Conclusion : A whisky over 25 years old from the Highlands, which has benefited from a second maturation in a most precious cask, developing an unprecedented aromatic bouquet!
