Distilled May 2011, and bottled 2022-12-12. Matured in a combination of 55 % ex-sherry, 35 % ex-bourbon and 10 % ex-rum casks. Limited to 15000 bottles. Made using Belgravia barley from Glencraigs farm.

Will be available in Norway starting September 14 at NOK 1518 (15931301).

Nose: Delicately funky, enveloped in rich custard, orchard and tropical fruits, and almond milk. A pronounced maltiness radiates warmth, paired with toasted oak and a hint of soot.

Taste: Extremely full-bodied, oozing richness with malty depths, layered fruits, decadent caramel, and the distinct presence of rowan berries.

Finish: Unfolding with enduring richness and maltiness, it holds a consistent bitter edge. As it tapers, there's a whisper of peppery peat.

Comment: A malt lover's dream.
