This Speyside single malt is a 16-year-old 2008 vintage bottled at cask strength, meaning it is presented at its natural bottling strength rather than being heavily diluted. As a PX single cask release, it comes from one individual cask that previously held Pedro Ximénez sherry, a style known for rich sweetness and dark fruit character.
For a novice drinker, expect a fuller and more concentrated style than many standard bottlings. Single cask whiskies can vary from barrel to barrel, but PX maturation is broadly associated with notes of dried fruit, sweetness, spice, and oak.
