Crafted by Royal Salute Master Blender Sandy Hyslop. The 24 Year Old Cognac Cask Finish is a blend of exquisite whiskies hailing from renowned distilleries of Longmorn and Strathisla. It represents a first in the brand’s illustrious history because the liquor has been fully finished in first fill Cognac casks made from the finest French oaks. Master Blender Sandy Hyslop’s virtuosity is evident in this Asia-exclusive whisky, which he diligently tended to and patiently bottled after waiting for the ideal time for the cask to transfuse the right flavour into this beautiful mix.
The 24 Year Old Cognac Cask Finish exudes notes of dark cherries and toasted oak. These are followed by sweet hints of marzipan, rich caramelised figs, lemon curd and peach in syrup. Perhaps due to the use of Cognac casks, it adds a fruitier dimension to the whisky. Upon tasting it, tones of summer berry compote, thick creamy caramel, and a touch of warm cinnamon take over the palette. The finish is long and rich with a slight spice.
