- Ximénez-Spinola PX sherry finish
Whitlaw 16 Year Old is a blended malt from the 2009 vintage, bottled by Murray McDavid in its Benchmark range. It was finished in a Ximénez-Spinola Pedro Ximénez sherry cask.
The nose combines caramel, milk chocolate, apricot, dark forest honey, heather, a little salt and roasted hazelnuts. On the palate it is creamy and oily, with chocolate and nuts alongside raisins, dried fruit, apricot compote, wax and a hint of mango, plus a touch of oak spice.
The finish is medium to long, warm and velvety, closing on sweet oak.
