This limited-edition masterpiece began during the winter of 2016, when Watts column-distilled malted barley to create a lighter style of a traditionally complex malt whisky. This spirit was then matured for a further four years in American Oak of varying ages, before a final finishing in seasoned Chenin Blanc casks for two years.
This Chenin Blanc cask finishing results in a bright and flavorful malt whisky with a remarkable combination of spice, tropical fruit, and zesty lemon.
Nose: The inviting nose reveals lemon cream biscuits, tropical fruit, rooibos tea leaves and hay, and a subtle honey sweetness.
Palate: The taste is warm, with delightful nuances of Golden Delicious apples, candied pineapple, subtle pepper, and lemon zest on the palate.
Finish: A warm, fragrant, and lingering soft spice finish with fruity tones.
