This Highland single malt from Ardnamurchan was bottled from a first fill Oloroso butt.

On the nose it has notes of a seasoned sherry cask; dates, raisins and gently toasted vanilla. This gives way to caramel and some confected notes. Very delicate note of garden herbs

On the palate it starts with gentle peat, a good hit of peppery spice with a savoury edge. The Sherry cask comes back to the fore with raisins, figs and orange peel. The finish really is quite peppery, finishing with a lingering warmth
