Exemplifying our family’s tradition of innovation, our 15 Year Old expression is created using a technique pioneered by our Malt Master and its warm, spicy flavors are transformed with the alchemy of the Solera Vat. Aged in European oak sherry casks and new oak casks, the whisky is mellowed in our unique Solera Vat, a large oak tun inspired by the sherry bodegas of Spain and Portugal. Never emptied, and kept half full of whiskies since 1998, our Solera Vat is the culmination of curious minds and the pioneering spirit of our family.
Our unique Solera Vat is always kept at least half full, with the oldest whiskies dating back to 1983. A smooth and consistent flavor created by maturing the whisky in three types of casks – sherry, bourbon and new oak. The matured whisky is married together in our unique handmade Oregon pine Solera vat.
On the nose
An intriguingly complex aroma. Sweet heather honey and vanilla fudge combined with rich dark fruits.
Taste
Silky smooth, revealing layers of sherry oak, marzipan, cinnamon and ginger. Full-bodied and bursting with flavour.
The Finish!
Satisfyingly rich with lingering sweetness.
