Age: 11 Years.
ABV: 50%
Unit: 70cl

Matured in a combination of Sherry and Bourbon casks, the 2005 vintage is aged 11 years and is available while stocks last. Rounded and full with emerging sweet, peaty smoke and spiced earthy fruit flavours, this limited edition will not disappoint!
AROMA: Butterscotch, toffee apples and honey are met with a hint of vanilla that binds these big sweet flavours together. The faint smoke of heather burning lingers in the background throughout. In time, chilli infused chocolate, lemon syrup and a very slight hint of smoked bacon emerge.
PALATE: A burst of candy floss and birch sap sweetness is complimented by a gentle touch of peat smoke which brings a rounded earthy note to the taste. Dark chocolate, winter spice and poached fruits leave a warming suggestion of Christmas pudding.
FINISH: Rounded and full. The combination of sweet and smoke is left to evolve on the palate with soft fruits continuing to play a role.
