With traditional notes of times gone by, this whisky tells of blackcurrant, ash, vanilla, fudge and cigars. Reminiscent of times when the gentleman in the photograph was joined by friends or work colleagues. Soft and mellow, this whisky’s characteristics are of age, almost sentimental, reflective, and even melancholy. A complex yet harmonious dram.
