Tasting Notes & Experience

Aromas of dried fruits, orange zest and polished oak unfurl with honeyed florals and dark chocolate. The palate is velvety and complex—butterscotch, vanilla crème and cocoa glide over toasted malt and cedar, accented by baking spice and a whisper of smoke. Long, warming and luxurious, the finish lingers with toffee, candied peel and soft embers.

Cocktail Pairings

The 18-year depth shines in a luxurious Old Fashioned with honey or demerara, while a refined Rob Roy lets sweet vermouth amplify dried fruit and cocoa. Try a Chocolate Orange Boulevardier for bittersweet richness, a Ginger Highball with quality soda for lift, or a Walnut Manhattan to echo the whisky’s nutty oak. A restrained Whisky Sour adds bright citrus to its toffee warmth.
