Wind-felled on an ancient estate in the Scottish Highlands, timber from two centuries-old Scottish oak trees provided the wood for a single cask to create a rare, experimental whisky maturation process.
The Highland malts were matured in first-fill Bourbon barrels and in refill American White Oak casks, before a portion was finished in the specially crafted native Scottish oak cask to provide the prominent orchard fruit flavours.
The resulting whisky is the epitome of a Highland style – containing crisp apple & pear, soft spice notes, and aromatic cinnamon!
Natural colour, non-chill filtered, only a limited number of 2,157, individually numbered bottles were produced.
Nose: Crisp orchard fruit and ripe banana with a hint of vanilla.
Palate: Apples with a dusting of cinnamon and delicate floral notes.
Finish: A little spicy with a lingering sweet hint.
