Dark ochre.
At full strength the aroma is intense and rich and oozes baked desserts. Treacle toffee, creamy sherry trifle and baked Tiramisu bring a sense of indulgence, beneath which is a tray of delicious pastries – pain au chocolate, apple Danish and freshly baked croissants – served with marmalade, cherries and fresh cream. Sun-dried raisins in spiced bread, served with wholemeal toast and almond biscotti bring layers of warm baking.
Water releases an explosion of Oloroso aromas – fruitcake and walnut oil, baked gingerbread, toffee and raisins with the lingering soft sulphury smoke of a struck match. A rich fruity Christmas pudding is smothered in treacle and molasses. Alongside, peach and orange marmalade melds with plums, grapes and dried apricots. Crushed geranium leaves bring a crisp and fresh top note to clear the air.
Deep, mouth-filling and oily with a tingly effervesence. Hot toasted fruitcake, thick caramel and dark rum fill the palate with voluptuous warmth. Cinnamon spiced apples, plum sauce and prunes bring an almost cognac-like fruitiness, followed by a swathe of dark chocolate, aromatic coffee and walnut oil.
Long, deep and mouth-coating with walnut cake in treacle, baked orange marmalade and a traces of cinnamon-spiced Viennese coffee.
If you would like to purchase any of the whiskies here, we've made it possible for you to order safely and securely online.
Note: Unfortunately we can only deliver whisky within Europe (excluding Denmark). But if you live elsewhere you can email Iain to see what other arrangements can be made. Due to customs regulations, we're afraid we are unable to despatch whisky to the US or Canada — but that gives you an even better excuse to come and visit us in person!
