Master Distiller Robert Fleming whose family has been distilling whisky for generations; nosed and tasted each cask from the 1974 year of distillation as they rested peacefully in the corners of the Distillery warehouses. Having found four remarkable casks amongst them, Robert considered these of such truly outstanding quality and attributes that they were selected for their own unique Quadruple cask bottling.

The single malt from these exceptional quadruple casks has been bottled in hand-crafted crystal decanters which have been individually numbered. Limited to 500 bottles worldwide and this is bottle 75.

Official Tasting Notes

Nose: Delicate and reassuringly mature. Mixed fruits dance with the gentle barley-sweet malt that is buttery and creamy. Hints of pineapple caress invitingly.

Palate: Subtle exquisitely complex, as summer fruits and buttery toffee intermingle with refined notes of coffee, liquorice and lemon sherbet.

Finish: Gentle oak-spice swirls with sweet liquorice.
