Sweet peat. Danish pastries and raisins soaked in mulled wine as a smouldering blackberry bush was extinguished with crème brûlée. On the palate, orange joined the party, as did stewed apples and cinnamon.

Water transformed the sweet characteristics, now featuring peppermint creams, manuka honey and treacle on the nose, while resin and vanilla gelato joined pork fat on the palate. At six years of age, we combined selected casks from the same distillery. We then returned the single malt into a variety of different casks to develop further. This is one of those casks.
