Description

What makes a Speyside whisky truly exceptional after 18 years of patient maturation?

This expression showcases the distillery’s signature clean, ethereal style that beautifully absorbs cask character while maintaining its distinctive DNA. For collectors seeking similar premium aged expressions, consider exploring The Dalmore 25 Years Highland Single Malt or the robust Aberlour A’bunadh Alba Cask Strength.
