The distillery is situated north of the traditional highlands, drawing its water from the Alness River, near the city of Inverness. This single malt is a toasty, coffee-rich dram with beautifully spice notes and a thick mouthfeel.

The nose is rich in roast beans, the oily nuttiness in a fine espresso with little notes of malt, cereal followed by butter and pastry aromas. The palate is filled full of marmalade and triple sec with winter spices and fruitcake. Zesty cocoa and milk chocolate are also a feature of this very rich 12 year old.
