Tasting notes by Jim McEwan MBE:

Colour - Waving barley on a July day.

Aroma - Fragrant, friendly and sweet on every pass. It oers scents of honey, biscuits, spice, toasted oak and a drift of Bourbon plus a lot of soft fruits. Sweet dry cereal notes rise in harmony with the influence of the oak and just a whisper of spice from the

bourbon that first filled the cask. It’s a super smooth, clean, elegant and complex spirit. With the cereal sweetness shining through, the cask has

produced a halo in which the spirit has travelled well and it’s still as fresh as a daisy - amazing!!

Palate - Absolutely divine, for a spirit of this age it’s outstanding, smooth, mellow, fresh, sweet and spicy. The mouthfeel is something special, and just to add to the flavour there still lingers a tiny hint of bourbon - which is amazing! At 55.4% it’s stunning, no water required. Just roll back the years and let the spirit tell you that you deserve to sometimes walk on the wild side!!

The texture is beyond belief. It’s a wonderful,

delightful spirit and its journey began three

decades ago! What a privilege to share such a

fabulous creation for some moments in time.

Finish - This is a whisky you will remember long after it no longer exists!
