As of 2015 this 24yo replaced the discontinued 22yo (which was sadly never available in SA). Matured in a combination of Spanish oak ex-sherry casks and American oak ex-bourbon barrels. Non-chillfiltered, naturally coloured and bottled at 46%.

Nose: Aromatic with fruits (baked apple, grapefruit, orange marmalade) and honey with a soft sherry influence in the form of toffee and fruit cake spiciness.

Palate: Vanilla custard, raisins and toffee with malt, candied orange and a hint of popcorn. Quite some citrus again, along with toasted, almost smoky oak and leather.

Finish: Medium long, with honey, pepper, raisins and a hint of cake.
