Crafted using pure spring water from Saint Drostan's Well on Mount Ben Rinnes, this classic Speyside single malt is a masterclass in balance. Rather than a brief finish, two separate whiskies age for a full 12 years in traditional American bourbon barrels and Spanish Oloroso sherry butts before coming together. The result is a wonderfully harmonious dram brimming with crisp red apple, sweet heather honey, dark raisins, and milk chocolate. It is an effortless, inviting pour that serves as the perfect introduction to sherried single malts or a cozy nightcap to share with friends.
