Distilled in 1987 and initially matured in bourbon barrels, this whiskey is given extra maturation in French White Burgundy wine casks to add an extra layer of complexity. The result is a beautiful bouquet of tropical fruit flavours complimented by the deep layered malt and wood notes that linger on the finish. A rare coinage of true character, this is a whiskey to be savoured.
