"A rare, limited-edition release from High N' Wicked, this 19-year-old single malt also oozes tropical fruit, with pineapple and mango aromas greeting notes of light brown sugar on the nose. The palate is deep and complex, with a dried fruit, malty, chocolaty finish that continues for an eternity. Released as a five-cask single-barrel collection sourced from the personal stocks of celebrated distiller Noel Sweeney, this is an opportunity that whiskey collectors won't want to miss out on (if cash isn't an issue)."
