Like the golden edge of an autumn afternoon, The 18 Years Old is a dazzling, luminous whisky, balancing sweet and floral lushness, with rich marmalade flavours, honey and fig.
After 15 years of maturation in American white-oak, ex-bourbon casks, around 30% of the whisky is transferred into Spanish Oloroso sherry casks for three years. When both parts have reached 18 years, they are blended together.
The Oloroso casks provide an incredible degree of vibrancy, while the American oak balances the raisin-like sweetness of the sherry.
COLOUR: Honeyed gold.
NOSE: Rich, rounded and sweet with dried fruit and a complex floral fragrance.
PALATE: A balance between honey, malt and flowery notes. Rich figs and dates emerge with a hint of wood smoke in the background.
FINISH: Long and enticing with the sweetness of dried fruit and subtle dryness of Oloroso nuttiness.
