Batch 1 has been exclusively matured in Re-charred Sherry Butts for 10 years

Nose- The effect of the re-charred casks is huge, giving the whisky a distinct burnt caramel character. The woody flavours are reminiscent of brown toast with butter, well-browned flapjack and roasted oats. We also detected notes of everything from tawny marmalade and candle wax, through to ice cream soda and irn bru!

Palate - Batch 1 is rich and dry with huge amounts of flavour. Sweet oak, peaches and honey are concentrated at the back of the palate, The mouth feel is very lively, with a tingle of salt and citrus.

Finish- A well balanced finished, as sweet smokey notes mingle with sherry, oak and caramel. The finish is long, rich and warming.
