Part of the Last ' Great Malts' series, the 16 Year Old is finished in first-fill oloroso sherry casks & is sweet & spicy, with a hint of smoke in the mix too. Whisky region: Highland Nose: Warming, definite notes of spice with a citrus undertone. A hint of smoke, subtle yet distinct. Palate: Fruity notes are prominent, regal prunes & sweetened figs. Presence of sherry & grain. Finish: Medium, dry finish with an aftertaste of cocoa.
