This expression showcases the distillery’s ability to craft diverse flavour profiles through thoughtful fermentation and cask selection. Built on a spirit shaped by long fermentations and carefully controlled distillation, the whisky develops a layered, expressive character whether matured in ex-sherry, ex-bourbon or new American oak. The result is a single malt that reflects both technical mastery and stylistic versatility.

The distillery is renowned for producing an exceptionally broad palette of malt styles, designed to give the group’s master blender the fullest possible creative range. Using a wide selection of yeasts, the distillery crafts malts that vary from sherry-rich and sweet to woody and vanillic, and from fruity and estery to distinctly peated. This breadth is reinforced by extended fermentation times, enabling deeper ester development and greater aromatic complexity before the spirit even reaches the stills. Maturation experiments in sherry, bourbon, and new American oak casks further enrich the distillery’s profile.
