International Spirits Challenge 2025 TROPHY + DOUBLE GOLD MEDALIST - Single Malts 21 Years Old and Over
On the back of being awarded Double Gold at this year's International Spirits Challenge (ISC), this incredible whisky was awarded a trophy in the Single Malts 21 years old and over category. Out of thousands of entries submitted from around the world, fewer than 2% are awarded a trophy – making this already unique whisky even more special.
It doesn’t get any better than this! After 35 years in sherry oak, you would expect a very cask-driven profile. Somehow, this one has retained the perfect balance between spirit and oak after nearly four decades of maturation. It’s the ultimate dram to celebrate life’s most precious moments.

Tasting Panel Notes
The aroma was breath-taking, with unsmoked maple bacon, butterscotch pancakes, candied Seville oranges, black tea and cloves ... and the list could just go on and on. On the palate we found a truly irresistible combination of sweet caramel, smooth butter and vanilla, making it a classic butterscotch coffee syrup poured over maple ice cream. After careful reduction, the scent of rum and raisin fudge alongside damson jam and amaretti biscuits appeared. To taste there was initially a little spice coming from ginger beer and cinnamon buns before we enjoyed lavender shortbread and a glass of Amarone wine. Following 29 years in an oloroso butt we transferred this whisky into a first fill PX butt.
