Produced from 70 80 year old vines inherited from Marcos mothers side of the family

We love the nose on this wine there is a burst of freshly baked apple

A delicate flinty mineral taste is followed by lime and gooseberry on the finish

This is an atypical cuvee in terms of its complexity of aromas: deep spice

A wine made to enjoy - without being a fruit salad

Strawberry tart and sweet spice a hint of cinnamon draw you in

Soft red fruit

Very smooth in the mouth

Meanwhile the classic peat smoke and citrus character of the Kilchoman spirit brings a distinct depth and punch to the whisky

floral nature of eaux-de-vie is highly desirable in a Cognac

Rich and generous on the palate - full-flavoured with intense plum and sour cherry fruit

The stunning flora/fruity opening aroma is transcendent

further time in the sampling glass of eight minutes releases additional fragrance of vanilla
