A 12-year-old single malt bottled at cask strength, this release is presented at a robust 59.5% ABV. That means it has not been diluted down to a lower bottling strength, so it is likely to show a fuller texture and a more intense delivery of flavour.

The hogshead cask format is a common maturation vessel in Scotch whisky, often allowing the spirit and oak to develop in balance over time. For a novice drinker, this style is best approached with a small sip first, and a few drops of water can help open it up.
