With its age of 14 years and a robust alcohol content of 56.9%, this bottling clearly possesses strength and presence without losing sight of its origins.

In the hands of Berry Bros & Rudd, one of Great Britain's oldest and most respected independent bottlers, such a whisky is often given the space to showcase its own signature. For this release, a Viognier wine finish was chosen, a maturation element that can add an elegant wine influence to the structure of the malt. Furthermore, the 2011/2026 designation clearly places this bottling within a defined release, making it extra interesting for those who enjoy following independent Highland bottlings.
This is a whisky for enthusiasts who love distillery character with an extra layer of tension from the cask. Powerful, serious, and with enough nuance to take your time with in the glass.
