Batch 177 has been crafted from a combination of spirit matured for eight years in first-fill ex-bourbon hogsheads, married with spirit matured for seven years in first-fill Caribbean rum barrels. The flavour of the resultant whisky is a triumph, combining the smooth sophistication of bourbon maturation with unique sweetness and depth from the rum casks. A release of 4,900 bottles.

TASTING NOTE
• Nose ⎪ Roasted figs and prunes meet candied ginger. There’s a terrific depth of flavour with plum sauce and toffee meeting marzipan and sultanas.
• Palate ⎪ Rum influence shines through with overtones of molasses ever present. Layers of sweetness unfurl over time, with fruit and honey notes beautifully bound together by silky oak tannins.
• Finish ⎪ The finish is sticky, fruity, decadent and delicious.
