This 1971 whisky can be classed as a triple matured blend: having first been blended in 1983 for a Premium 12-Year-Old, a reserve of the liquid was refilled into ex-Oloroso Sherry Butts. After a further nine years of aging, a small proportion was refilled once more, this time into ex-American Oak Barrels. There followed a final maturation of 24 years in an old traditional dunnage warehouse before we bottled the whisky, in its prime, at the grand old age of 45 years.

You need only to taste one drop to be enveloped in the harmonious complexity of this exceptional whisky, yet one drop is certainly not enough to unveil all the rich flavors developed during its long, multi-faceted maturation.
