The Experience

The Experience

Appearance

Deep amber with a warm, wine rich hue.

Aroma

Grape, blackcurrant, raspberry and cherry lead instantly, followed by vanilla, cacao and gentle earthy phenols reminiscent of a hay barn and pork scratchings.

Palate

Smooth, creamy and chocolatey with vibrant red fruits, subtle cinnamon, black pepper spice and a touch of treacle.

Finish

Long, warming and elegantly smoky with lingering chocolate sweetness and soft spice.

"A remarkably complex STR cask, bursting with red fruits, gentle phenols and a smooth, chocolatey finish."
PROF DAVID THOMSON
Co-Founder

“The STR barrel lends bold treacle sweetness, orchard fruits, and smoky tobacco to this peated whisky. A peppery finish adds an exciting edge to its rich and complex profile.”
