For the debut under our label of this relatively young but very interesting Speyside distillery, we opted for a finish of 30 months in first fill Oloroso butts, and the result is delicious! The nose is fragrant, with fruity notes of pears and apples, together with the more mature, oxidated and autumnal touch of the sherry. Only moderately winey, it feels very balanced, with slightly earthy hints, camphor, delicate oak and tamarind. At the palate, dry and sweet play together: candied citrus and apricots, soft tannins, black tea: it’s deep and rich, but also fresh. In the end, it remains very lively and spicy, but tamed by the smoothness of raisiny sweetness.

A flowery and fresh Speyside whisky, enhanced by a finish for 32 months in a 1st fill Oloroso sherry cask which conveys fruity notes without overwhelming the malt with wine. At the nose it’s fresh, sparkling, only slightly marked by the dry fortified wine: rather, it exhibits mineral and citrusy notes. A hint of beeswax, but it remains tight, nutty, with plenty of orange and orange peel. At the palate it’s just as mineral, fresh, dry and vibrant: yes, there is a hint of tea and tannins due to the wood, but overall it’s absolutely dominated by notes of oranges, bergamot, tangerine. Dry and juicy at the same time. The oakiness starts to become more noticeable in the finale, with pleasant sweet notes of freshly sawn wood.

Looking to achieve an “old sherried Speyside malt” profile, we picked the casks for this bottling after a finish for 34 months in first fill Oloroso butts, which to our palate was the perfect moment. Very aromatic and deep in its olfactory impression, it truly has a “vintage” style: a bit of beeswax, some ancient wooden furniture, a touch of honey, ripe peaches, and the nutty astringent note of sherry. At the palate it’s actually sweeter than expected: chestnut honey, rose petals, a hint of raisins, ripe bananas and dried apricots. It’s rich and chewy but not fat, with the dryness of the Oloroso keeping it tight and lively. In the finale it becomes very mineral, but still quite smooth and only moderately oaky.

A rich, intense and fruity Speyside malt, enriched by a finish for 21 months in a 1st fill Pedro Ximenez cask. At the nose it starts with very estery notes, which can be mistaken for spirity intensity even if the alcohol content is comparatively low for a cask strength whisky. It’s also slightly winey, but the main notes are of dried plums and apricots, and raisins. Soft notes of sweet oak and camphor complete the aromatic palette. At the palate, it’s sweet and tannic at the same time. There is plenty of overripe fruit (even tropical ones, like pineapple) and then it develops on herbal notes of strongly infused black tea, cola and bergamot. It’s a very rich and luscious whisky, but never cloying. In the end, the tannic notes take control and it becomes very spicy and peppery.
