An 11-year-old Speyside single malt bottled at 50.0% ABV, this release was matured in a first-fill Pedro Ximénez cask. That style of cask is known for adding richer notes of dried fruit, sweetness, and spice to whisky.
For a novice drinker, expect a fuller and more dessert-like profile than a refill-matured malt, with cask influence likely playing a prominent role. The higher strength may give it extra weight and intensity, so a few drops of water may help open it up.
