What Makes It Special

• Master Blender Collaboration: Created by two heavyweight blenders Richard Paterson and Ian MacMillan bringing together decades of experience to source rare casks and parcels.

• Exceptional Age for a Blend: It is rare to see blended Scotch with consistent age of 30+ years; many blends use younger whiskies. The maturity lends depth, complexity, and rare richness.

• Sherry Enhancement: The use of Pedro Ximnez (PX) sherry casks in the finishing / marrying adds dessert-wine sweetness, dried fruit tones, richness and a luxurious profile.

• Blend of Regions: Whiskies from all 5 regions provide a wide flavour palette not confined to one style, bringing in floral, fruity, coastal, and inland character. Emphasis on Highlands & Speyside gives balance of sweetness and body.

• Dramatic and luxurious flavour profile: well suited for those who enjoy rich, sherried, old whisky with layers.

• Excellent craftsmanship: balance of age, wood, and blend shows high maturity.

• Great prestige and wow factor: limited bottles, high age, premium finish.

Pairing & Serving Suggestions

• Serve neat first, in a Glencairn or similar glass, so you can appreciate nose and finish slowly.

• Let rest in glass some minutes to allow aromas to open up (fruit, honey, oak).

• If desired, a few drops of water might help reduce oak heat and reveal subtler fruit / honey layers.

• Pair with desserts: dark chocolate, crme brle, fruit tarts, ginger cake; also good with strong cheeses, nuts (almond, walnut), or coffee.
