Notes

About A Perfect Sunset: It doesn't need to be summer to enjoy a perfect sunset. This distillery has long been regarded as the connoisseur's whisky. Its divine texture and fruit richness has made it the preferred malt of blenders and whisky lovers the world over. See what all the fuss is about with this brilliant 33-year-old single cask!

Tasting Panel Note: The sun dipped with the glow of dried orange skin, illuminating green mangoes arranged in fruit boxes on top of dry bales of hay. Fluffy clouds glided above like cream cakes from a pâtisserie, alongside the occasional cinnamon bun. Adding water revealed bottles of sticky herbal medicine, with earthy tones, and the fragrance of fresh flowers and bergamot petals. As the sun dipped further, streaks of colour radiated across the heavens. The cream cakes burst into shades of clementine, kumquat and stewed rhubarb. The perfect complement to the juicy mangoes, we welcomed baked apples and luscious kiwi fruit too.

USA allocation: 48 bottles
