- Description
- This anonymous Lowland single malt from 2009 spent 15 years in wood before a final maturation in an oloroso octave cask, bottled in 2025 with just 96 releases. The brief octave finish concentrates rich, sweet sherry influence while preserving the regional character of subtle spice and soft grain.
