The year following the release of the 12 Year Old, the distillery is offering this 15 Year Old in a limited edition of 24,000 bottles. It was matured in exactly the same way as the 12 Year Old, exclusively in Sherry casks. A new Batch was launched the following year, and then another the year after that.
Let's Taste It :
From the very first nose, a lovely basket of fruit, starting with tropical fruits, pineapple, papaya, coconut, then red fruits, raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, and finally some orchard fruits, pears, juicy apples, white grapes. Almonds, cashew nuts and a pinch of salt at the end. Very pleasant on the palate, with hints of fermented fruits, once again that basket of fruits, but this time they've been crushed and mixed together, and left for a few hours in the sun. A touch of calva. The finish is not very long, but quite strong anyway, earthy and fruity. Heather.
In Short,
I really liked it. The fruit is intense and varied, the alcohol level is adequate and the whole thing is rather well done without being particularly aggressive. Unfortunately, I found the price really excessive.
Score : 87
