I tasted this whisky at the Saratoga Whisky Club Tasting # 57 - Highland Scotch Virtual Track Tasting. It was one of the special releases by the Scotch Malt Whisky Society for the 2020 Highlands Festival. The SMWS classifies the flavor profile as "deep, rich and dried fruits." It was distilled in June 2009 and matured in a re-charred hogshead. USA allocation: 72 bottles.
