Awards/Reviews:

Best Scotch Highlands Single Malt (13-20 Years) – World Whiskies Awards 2024

“The nose reveals peachy, dried fruit aromas, golden syrup, caramel, and brown sugar, enhanced by hazelnut, toasted almond, green apple, cinnamon, and white pepper. Robust marzipan, Turkish delight, and peach rose water further define the profile, complemented by sweet toffee, milk chocolate, and gentle wood spice. The palate enjoys liqueur-soaked raisins, red fruits, and a decadent chocolate fruit sponge cake finish. Coconut cream and cherry cola nuances intertwine with hazelnut and cake, creating a superbly fruity and floral bouquet.”

“Ripe orchard fruit, with warm honey and sweet vanilla on the nose, met beautifully with fresher flavors of citrus peel and lime marmalade on the palate. Rounded and creamy, with delicious notes of banana milkshake on the finish.“
