A very smooth nose, marked by both sherry and ripe fruits, nicely perfumed and with no aggressivity at all.
In the palate, a very nice evolution from ripe pears to fine wood hints, a touch of sweet citrus, to end on very nice malty notes. Nice complexity, and the high percentage of alcohol is really not obvious, because the whole is so nice and harmonious and smooth.
The finish begins on a very warm impression, recalling the presence of alcohol, than developes quite long on nice touches, close to those the mouth detected earlier, and at the end a very warm feeling comes an completes the whole.


A remarkable bottling from the very first nosing. A great Speyside with sherry hints. The taste is really smooth and pleasant, despite the high alcohol degree, and a slight sherry hint is associated to really nice balanced malted touches. A exceptionally long finish. The colour gives away the Gordon & MacPhail's usage to add caramel to their bottlings... An excellent bottle in a very good although recent collection.


A rather fresh nose marked by sherry on a background of malt and wet wood, followed in the palate by a very pleasant taste on a malt background with strong hints of sherry. Remote citrus fruit touches make it a remarkably complex but also perfectly balanced whisky. A rather long finish, recalling the sherry.
