Made in hand selected wine barriques from Sauternes, the most famous and ancient sweet wine growing region of France, this a whisky of rich, spicy and dessert-like flavours. Non chill-filtered for additional aroma and mouthfeel. An exercise in sweet-dry balancing. Aroma: lime and orange rind and dates laced with tantalising spices of coconut and nutmeg. Taste: ginger, nutmeg and toasted almonds bring a deep, warming taste interwoven with a syrupy lemon meringue and honeycomb middle. 46% abv - Rich Fruit and Spice -
"Finished (extra-matured, as they are now saying) in Sauternes casks. This expression replaces the Madeira wood finish. Beautiful sweet notes of honeycomb, sultana, apple pie, and white chocolate balanced by peach, coconut, and pineapple. Gentle background spice. The Sauternes cask adds extra weight and viscosity. The sweetness is not cloying, nor does it dominate the flavor profile. A good demonstration of the benefits of wood finishing." 89 pts Whisky Advocate
