This blended malt Scotch whisky was created by Max McFarlane, previous lead whisky maker at Edrington (including Highland Park) and now master whisky maker at Ardgowan Distillery. The limited-edition expression combines four distinctive single malt whiskies from Highland and Speyside distilleries, wholly matured in first-fill oloroso sherry casks. It picked up a master medal in the Blended Malt - Super Premium category at the Scotch Whisky Masters 2022.
Breathe in the waves of marzipan, Ceylon tea, dried spices, and hints of tobacco.
Orange peel, rich dark notes of black cherries, and treacle.
Finishes gently, dry at first, then gliding into lingering spicy notes.
I bought this for my brother a couple of years ago, he loved it. Got him another bottle for his birthday, it’s now a firm favourite.
Last Christmas year I bought this whisky to give to some of my valued clients and collaborators in the building trade in Ireland. They've each asked me where to direct them to my contact so they can get some for themselves . You can't rate a whisky higher than that.
