Summary

This single malt whisky is a unique expression, matured in a single cask and privately selected for its exceptional qualities. The use of Pedro Ximenez casks imparts a rich, sweet character to the whisky, making it a delightful choice for those who appreciate depth and complexity in their spirits. The influence of the sherry cask is evident, providing a luxurious and indulgent experience with every sip.

On the nose, this whisky offers an inviting aroma of dried fruits, with hints of raisins and figs, complemented by a subtle smokiness. The palate is equally impressive, with a rich, full-bodied flavor profile that includes notes of dark chocolate, dates, and a touch of oak. The sweetness from the Pedro Ximenez cask is well-balanced by the underlying peat smoke, creating a harmonious and satisfying taste.

The finish is long and lingering, with the dried fruit and sherry notes gradually giving way to a gentle smokiness. This whisky is a testament to the craftsmanship and attention to detail that goes into creating a single cask expression. It is a perfect choice for those who enjoy a deep, rich, and complex whisky with a touch of sweetness and smoke.
