The 2012 vintage blends the rich, honeyed notes of Sauternes with the deep, smoky flavours of Islay peat, resulting in a harmonious and captivating whisky. It's an example of how cask finishing can beautifully marry the terroir-driven character of Islay whisky with the opulent qualities of one of France's most celebrated sweet wines.
