Speyside (GL) 16 Years – Exceptional Cask 100 Proof Edition is a bold and complex single malt from an undisclosed Speyside distillery, bottled by Signatory Vintage as part of their prestigious Exceptional Cask series. Aged for 16 years in first-fill Oloroso sherry hogsheads, it is bottled at 57.1% ABV – unchillfiltered and with natural color.
The nose offers rich aromas of dried fruits, dark chocolate, roasted nuts, leather, and coffee. On the palate, it delivers powerful sherry sweetness, balanced by spices such as cinnamon and clove, with notes of licorice, toasted oak, and candied orange peel. The finish is long, warming, and layered with cocoa, tobacco, and a dry sherry-driven elegance.
A superb choice for those who appreciate sherry-matured whisky with both strength and sophistication.
