ABV: 45%

Launched in 2018, this is a first edition for 2018 with a decent proportion of malt whiskies mixed with the grain, as well as some sherry input. Brilliant gold. Pure, fresh and grainy opening sniffs. 2-3 minutes aeration drops the intensity, hinting at straw bail, sponge cake, sweet tea biscuits, a touch of barley sugar and developing orchard fruitiness. Medium dry, this feels more grain-led than malt-heavy with moderate spice and understated dried apple / pear notes. The finish is crisp and minerally, with a mild flare of warming spirit. 45% Alc./Vol.
