Tasting Notes

Tasting Notes

  • Tasting Notes by Rocky

    • Nose

      Intense notes of prune and fig, with hints of sweet toffee and walnuts in the background.

    • Palate

      Classic sherried whisky – a waxy and mouth-coating texture reveals rich dark chocolate, coffee, Christmas cake, marmalade, prune, fig, and hints of cardamom.

    • Finish

      Cardamom spice is present at the end of the very long finish.

    • Comment

      A classic example of sherried whisky, but one which, despite the age, is beautifully integrated and not as oaky as one would expect.

  • Tasting Notes by Jonny McCormick

    • Nose

      A soft, classic sherry nose. It abounds with damsons, Turkish raisins, and a dry, almond nuttiness.

    • Palate

      In the mouth, there’s bountiful dark chocolate, and espresso beneath ripe plums, apricot kernels and intense orange oils.

    • With Water

      Watchful dilution emphasises the almond and marzipan notes, developing the nose into a slightly sweeter proposition. Simultaneously, it punctures that perceptible alcohol strength on the neat dram.

    • Comment

      Ultimately, this rich Speyside whisky perfectly encapsulates Rosemary and Stephen Rankin’s particular style of whisky, and only the fortunate ones who taste it will have the opportunity to reflect on the glories in the glass.
