Here we have a special selection from another distillery whose primary role is supplying malt for major blends, mainly Diageo labels like Johnnie Walker and Buchanan’s. What makes this distillery unique is its use of a mash filter, which produces a clearer wort and leads to a vibrant, grassy spirit. Even after 15 years of aging, including three and a half years in refill charred red wine barrique casks, that fresh, green foundation still shines through. Notes of fresh hay and honey take the lead, supported by jammy stone fruit and bright Highland heather. The finish is long and oily, with flavors of orange blossom honey, milk chocolate, and toasted pastry lingering beautifully.
