Lowland

Dried and tropical fruit lead the nose, with raisins, butterscotch, fresh cake, sticky toffee and a soft leather note. The palate is generous but balanced, layering caramel, vanilla, digestive biscuit and tablet over ginger spice and a light savoury salinity. Maturation in Oloroso and Pedro Ximénez casks, bourbon barrels and rum barriques gives the whisky both richness and lift. The finish is long and mouth-watering, carrying apple pie, red fruit and sweet spice. Serve neat or add water gradually.

Dried cherry, dark fruit and polished oak lead, followed by coffee, vanilla and toffee. The palate is smooth but structured, layering marmalade, prune and liquorice over warm cinnamon spice. Initial maturation in ex-bourbon casks gives a honeyed core, while a ten-month finish in Californian red-wine casks brings depth and a gently vinous edge. The finish is long, fruity and warming, with oak spice and dark fruit lingering. Serve neat, with water added gradually if desired.
