Vinho is fully matured in used American oak wine barrels that have been toasted and recharred in a way that brings out fruity vanilla notes from the wood into the whisky overlaid on a delicate background of complex fruitiness.
It has a complex and multi-dimensional background of pepper, spice, dates and other fruits, such as ripe melon and mango together with kiwi and a delicate blend of bursting citrus fruits.
COLOUR - Deep Autumn Gold
NOSE - A rich fusion of vanilla and caramelized sugars with dark chocolate on top. Ripe melon and mango together with kiwi and a delicate burst of citrus fruits. Pepper is also present in the background waiting to be noticed. This bouquet is simply a sensational feast to your olfactory organ.
PALATE - The taste ends with clean and complex flavours embodying all that is best in the finest malt whiskies and enjoying a long aftertaste.
