Special features: This 15-year-old single malt whisky from the renowned Speyside region has been bottled by Gordon & MacPhail under the Distillery Labels series. The maturation took place in sherry casks, contributing to a complex and balanced flavor profile. Bottled at a drinking strength of 46% vol., the whisky has neither been chill-filtered nor colored to preserve the natural aromas.
Tasting Notes:
Nose: Inviting sherry notes combine with malty and citrus notes, accompanied by a hint of fresh fruitiness.
Palate: A lightly oily sweetness unfolds with flavors of candied fruits, baked apple, raisins, and oranges, underpinned by a subtle sherry note.
Finish: Medium-long and persistent, with a mild fruitiness and a subtle oak note in the aftertaste.

Gordon & MacPhail, an independent bottler with over 120 years of experience, maintains close relationships with numerous Scottish distilleries and bottles their whiskies under its own labels.
