Type: Single Malt

ABV: 52.8%

Score: 97 Points

This 60-year-old single malt honors Dennis Malcom’s 60 anniversary at the distillery, and comes from a single ex-Sherry cask. The nose has notes of toffee, a gentle kiss of smoke, orange marmalade, a hint of nuttiness with pecans and walnuts, apricots, and peaches. The taste is rich and vibrant with Christmas cake, raisins, marzipan, orange peel, and touches of dark chocolate, toffee, and dried fruits. The finish is long and dark with lingering touches of dark chocolate, Christmas cake, and a hint of smoke. Outstanding! (October, 2021)
