A Decadent Whisky with Layers of Flavour

The first impression is rich and inviting, with a soft chocolate character that suggests hazelnut spread and warm cocoa. As the whisky opens in the glass, deeper notes begin to appear. Stewed fruit brings a gentle sweetness, while cacao nibs add a darker, slightly bitter edge that keeps the profile interesting rather than overly sweet.

Hints of coconut and vanilla bean add a smooth, creamy touch. These flavours work together to create a whisky that feels indulgent without becoming heavy. The sherry casks provide a full foundation, while the Port cask finish brings bright fruit and extra sweetness to the final stages of the tasting experience.

The 48% strength gives the whisky a pleasing presence. Enjoy it neat to appreciate its full flavour, or add a few drops of water to soften the spirit and reveal additional aromas. It can also be served over a large ice cube for a slower, more relaxed drink. However it is enjoyed, this is a bottle designed to deliver plenty of character from the first pour to the last.

Inspired by Classic Whisky Presentation

The look of the 2024 release takes inspiration from old Port and Sherry bottles, giving it a traditional and eye-catching appearance. Its presentation reflects the whisky inside: rich, distinctive and made to stand apart from ordinary bottles on the shelf.

When to Enjoy It
