This whisky was matured for five years; two in Spanish sherry butts and three in hogsheads, before being bottled un-chillfiltered and with no artificial colouring.
The resulting release is a powerful single malt combining vanilla and American oak notes that is rounded and subtle with impressive length and complexity. Very limited and highly collectable.
