The blend consists of:
90% single malt whiskeys
10% single grain whiskeys.

For this bottling 40 to 44 years old whiskeys of the following distilleries were used:
Bunnahabhain, Glenfarclas, Glenlivet, Glenburgie, Highland Park, Miltonduff, Springbank, Tamdhu and Invergordon.

The result is an exclusive blend with wonderful aromas of chocolate, Turkish honey, rhubarb, lime and dark cherries.
A lot of sherry in the taste, very gentle with pronounced notes of chocolate and red fruits.
On the finish a lot of cherry with a little cinnamon, a clear sherry note with a pronounced creaminess.
