More from All Whiskies R1,001 to R1,500
Launched in 2018 as the distillery's first ever travel retail release and named after the Forgue valley, where founder James Allardice built the distillery in 1826. Matured in a combination of Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso sherry casks. Non-chillfiltered, naturally coloured and bottled at 43%. (Bottle size 1 litre)
Nose: A dance of Seville blood orange and cherry, with harvest-ripe barley, roast chestnuts and winter-spiced cocoa.
Palate: Sweet Valencia orange and Morello cherries with rolling waves of ripe barley. As the flavour deepens, savour dark currants, praline toffee and earthy brambles.
Finish: A richly satisfying, lingering finish of orange-laced tobacco and ground nutmeg.
