Aged for 12 years – the extra 6 years maturing in wood produces a darker spirit with more of the traditional characteristics of aged whiskies and a richer, more aromatic flavour. Still with their trade mark smoothness, the classic has subtle notes of spice and vanilla. Beautifully neat. Aromas are soft, round, full balanced and creamy. The palate is smooth with spice and hints of vanilla and mellow wood. The finish is long and dry.
Tasting Notes:
Colour: Deep amber with light amber highlights.
Nose: Caramel and vanilla. Grapefruit pith, tropical fruits (and dark fruits as well), some cinnamon and cloves.
Finish: is long and deep, almost smoky.
