Price: 70 Issue: Winter 2022 Reviewer: Jonny McCormick Category: Blended Malt Scotch Whisky

Including single malts fully matured in sherry casks from Macallan, Mortlach, and Glenrothes among others, this has rich and fruity aromas with dark chocolate, walnuts, wood spices, new leather oxfords, vanilla seeds, chocolate pralines, and ground pepper. Sweet milk chocolate, grilled apricot, peach, raspberry, and a delicious pepperiness are supported by flavors of dried citrus, vanilla essence, walnut squares, tobacco, and black tea, leaving a dark-cocoa finish.
