Tastes like: layers of malt, toffee, caramelised butter, marmalade and citrus notes.
Goes with: a rich crème brûlée, fresh fruitcake or simply by itself to appreciate the complex, lingering flavours.
Average age: The Grand range offers a stunning level of depth, intensity and concentration of flavours with an average blended age of 15-20 years. It is the third tier in the classification system: Rutherglen, Classic, Grand and Rare.
Cellaring: We’ve done the hard work in the winery by ageing in old fortified barrels. Once bottled, no further ageing will occur, so we recommend you enjoy within a year or two of purchase. It’s freshest within the first few weeks of opening the bottle and won’t “go off”.
