Highland malt whisky distillery founded in 1826. Brown-Forman acquired the distillery and brand in 2016.
A pleasant, round whisky where red Bordeaux casks work surprisingly well, bringing chilli, bitter orange, pepper, tomato leaf and blackcurrant.
Rich and spicy, with peppery raisins and fortified-wine richness that integrates surprisingly well with the malt, though tomato, leaves and grape-stalk…
The nose is better than the palate, which feels a little young and pumped up with sherry, but this remains a very good young whisky.
