This malt is a blend of two mystery whiskies from, "two of the most notorious single malt distilleries in Scotland", says the bottle. Aged independently, the first whisky is a lightly-peated island malt and the other is heavily-sherried Highland malt. They are combined and bottled after 22 years of maturation.

my first 22/23 year, Smooth for a 50% highland park / mccallan sweet smokeyness smell really coats the glass with full body thick legs golden dark coloir from the barrels and tastes of apricot chocolate and or dried fruit sherry little burn / medicine in the aftertaste but delicious
Quite a rich malt; toffee, caramel, light fruitcake and dried fruits. Mild heat on the finish, no peat. Warming, mild spice presence, medium bodied, oily. Nutty. This is one of the best blends I've ever tasted
Oak forwarded with deep toffee, toasted nuts. Warming with a hint of spice. Better with a splash of water
Same style and price bracket, best rated first.
