A single malt release from the Dailuaine distillery in Speyside, by independent bottler James Eadie, and one of their first core releases alongside the Teaninich 11yo. Matured for 10 years including an 11-month finishing period in European oak Oloroso sherry hogsheads. Bottled at 48.3%. (Bottle size 70cl)

Nose: Rich, fruity aromas of stewed plums and rhubarb combine with dark chocolate, raisins, cardamom and cinnamon, alongside a touch of old leather.

Palate: Soft and velvety mouthfeel, beginning with juicy plums, nectarines and melted almond butter, before umami notes of cinnamon, clove and brandy snaps emerge.

Finish: Rich dark chocolate pudding – with a touch of chili, cardamom and aniseed.
