Annandale Founders Selection – Man O'Sword 2016 (Cask 524)
0.70 l | 60%
Nose
Powerful and deep, yet remarkably elegant for its high alcohol content. Dark fruits like raisins and plums, complemented by honey, orange peel, and warm notes of toffee and vanilla. Behind this, spicy oak, nutmeg, and a light floral freshness.
Taste
Full, rich, and concentrated. Sweet malt, caramel, and dried fruit open the palate, followed by nutty notes, dark chocolate, and spicy oak. The alcohol adds structure and intensity without being harsh; everything remains beautifully balanced.
Aftertaste
Long and warming. Lingering sweetness of caramel and fruit, with a drying touch of oak and soft spices that slowly fade.
Character
A distinctive, powerful single cask whisky with great depth and elegance. Rich, intense, and layered, it's designed for the experienced whisky drinker who appreciates full flavors and a robust presentation.
Tip: A few drops of water open up extra layers of fruit, honey and soft herbs.
