Certain whiskies have the ability to transport the drinker back to lost places that cannot be revisited any other way. Such is the case with this remarkable aged malt, rich with the treacle toffee, liquorice and candied fruit notes found in old sweet shops. Warming, enormously satisfying and lightly drying on the finish, years of marrying in refill sherry butts have created a fully unified, wonderfully evocative malt whisky.

Familiar sweet shop notes of liquorice and luscious candied fruit greet the nose. On the palate, initial caramelised notes lead into a darker treacle toffee and liquorice character. The finish is long and complex – moving slowly from sweet to dry with flashes of leather and oak recalling old wooden counter-tops.
