Details
At 15 years the ripe fruity notes of their spirit are becoming more refined and fragrant. It is a sensorial maturity that opens the door to flavour exploration.
Balancing the delicate elegance of their new make spirit with the boldness resulting from maturation in European oak sherry-seasoned casks, demands a skilful precision. It is a demand met with firm conviction by their Master Whisky Maker, through an unrivalled understanding of how their new make spirit uniquely matures.
The result is a marriage of the delicate and the bold. A seeming contradiction which works in harmony to deliver the bright sweet spice of The 15.
