Single Cask Whisky Batch No.4 SM2689: Five Year Old Single Malt

A testament to the complexity that can be achieved within a single cask, this release is an assertive and engaging exploration of our signature six-malt mash bill. Matured for over five years in a 120L Australian Apera cask, the spirit has been bottled at a robust 73.9% ABV, offering a high-octane experience that remains remarkably poised. The journey begins with a vibrant nose of chinotto, blood orange rind, and homemade chocolate sauce, layered with the sophisticated aromatics of well-aged cognac and soft herbs. With a texture that starts focused before broadening into a bold display of intensity, this expression delivers a sophisticated profile of hazelnut brittle and sweet tobacco. Despite its significant strength, the palate remains balanced, delivering a dense, mouth-filling sweetness of dates and fig jam. Yielding just 87 bottles, this is a powerful and singular expression that showcases the profound depth of our five-year-old stocks, culminating in a finish defined by its depth and enduring power.
