Morrision & MacKay's Old Perth range expanded in late 2015 with the introduction of a Peaty expression and one produced with whiskies aged in Sherry casks (the bottle you see before your eyes right now). A pleasantly Sherried blended malt from the Old Perth selection, which is a tribute to the splendid city of Perth in Scotland.
Brandy-soaked Christmas cake, milk chocolate and a touch of toasted barley.
Buttery. Brown sugar and chewy raisin, chocolate notes grow enjoyably bitter.
Medium length, with a spicy kick of ground clove. Hint of fresh berries give a sweet balance.

I liked it.
Though I tend toward bold peat, this dram is a lovely sweet alternative, perfect for dessert sipping. Fruity and sweet in the nose with a rich apricot jammy quality on the palate and a modest sweetness on the finish. A very accessible dram for those that claim they don't like whisky.
It is nothing extraordinary but for the price it is a surprisingly good sherry dram. Smooth when it needs to without being flat. The finish is very long and satisfying. It would advise it for the dessert. You could pay much more somewhere else for a similar experience.
Sweet hints of butter and brown sugar delicately danced across my tounge. This scotch transported me to a warm cabin on Christmas eve, surrounded by the smell of cakes and chestnuts roasting on a fire.
