- Description
- With a blank ratings slate and a price of £250, this might sway you more by its rarity than consensus. The 12-year age is coupled with a cask presence that speaks of 'Old Wood' and 'Vanilla', hinting at depth beneath its 'Honey' and 'Toasted' notes. Hard to say without tasting it, but 43.0% ABV is promising for balance. A gamble on indulgence, especially when the distillery's reputation is in the mix.
