Initially matured in ex-bourbon casks and then finished in a variety of assorted wine casks, the exact details retired master distiller and legendary whisky maker, Jim McEwan, never disclosed. Non-chillfiltered, naturally coloured  and bottled at a cask strength of 49.2%.

Nose: Rich and plump with sugared grapes and thick honey along with hints of lemon and lime and salty sea air.

Palate: Immediately "mature" with chocolate and sweeter tangerine and papaya balanced with barley sugar and cinnamon and aniseed.

Finish: Grilled peach and apricot sprinkled with demerera sugar.
