Tasting Notes: This is how the Speyside (M) 15 year old Small Batch Edition #18 tastes like

• Nose: smooth and inviting with an elegant sweetness – ripe dried fruits such as raisins and dates first greet the nose, followed by dark chocolate, nuts, and a hint of orange marmalade - a fine sherry influence provides depth and warmth, accompanied by subtle oak and spice aromas.
• Palate: full-bodied and soft on the tongue – the 15 years of maturation in Oloroso casks creates a harmonious combination of dark berries, caramelized nuts, and spicy wood. Cinnamon, nutmeg, and a hint of clove lend the profile a pleasant structure without overpowering the fruitiness. The slightly increased drinking strength further highlights the notes without overloading them
• Finish: long and smooth with a dry, sherry-accented finish. Memories of roasted almonds, fine dark chocolate, and a hint of leather linger, accompanied by subtle oak tannins and a pleasant aftertaste of dark fruits.
