Double maturation of 14 years each in refill wood then madeira barrels, this is a strident, impactful whisky with a fragrant intensity of spiced orange, neroli, golden apple, vanilla bean, honey, meadow hay, and brioche with daubs of aniseed, peppercorn, and mild tobacco notes. Drying at full strength, the sweet, syrupy orange is overcome by a wave of tangy orange, caramel, vanilla, and spiciness, remaining thick—almost gloopy—to the end. (414 bottles)
