Wine Enthusiast 94 points - Despite the rich, buttery scent this single malt sips relatively dry. Rounded pear and sherry notes lead the palate at first, drying to leather and cigar wrapper and finishing long, with lemon zest and ginger zing. Water brings out more fruit, a tinge of violet, sprinkles of brown sugar and cinnamon sweetness, and a smoky whiff on the finish. Amazing complexity..Kara Newman, December/2017
Ultimate Beverage Challenge 93 points - A complex nose of browned butter, spice, and cocoa nib is pleasing. What follows on the palate is a beautifully balanced symphony of salted caramel, subtle honey, and baking spice that lingers pleasantly between sips. - 2018 Ultimate Spirits Challenge.April/2018
The 18 Years Old is a single malt Scotch whisky of serious distinction. Once it has spent fifteen years maturing in American white oak casks approximately 30% is transferred into Spanish Oloroso casks to spend a further three years maturing. Then, when both elements have reached 18 years, we blend them back together to create a whisky with a rich bouquet and full, rounded flavour.
