- Description
- This blended malt unites six whiskies from across Scotland—Highland, Lowland, and Speyside—all matured in first-fill oloroso sherry casks under master whisky maker Max McFarlane's direction. The sherry influence creates a rich, rounded profile while maintaining the complexity of its constituent parts. The cask selection and blend construction have earned recognition at major competitions, reflecting considered craftsmanship. A versatile dram for those who appreciate sherry-forward blends without the density of a single distillery.
