Winey, oaky and very aromatic, this Speyside malt was enhanced for 42 months in a first fill Pedro Ximenez barrel. It’s quite a long finish, considering the use of a fresh cask, and the result is obviously very influenced by the wine: this is already noticeable from the nose, but it’s not a fruity and overly sweet sherry bomb. On the contrary, it remains quite dark and balsamic in style: notes of vermouth, orange peel, aperitif bitters. There is some nutty astringency, but the pepper and the tannic intensity win. It’s just as balsamic, dark and oaky at the palate too: a very tannic, winey, nutty attack, but with water it finally reveals a juicy sweetness of dried plums, orange peel and candied fruit. Only moderately raisiny, it remains rich, enveloping, darkly winey and chewy in the finale too, with a touch of camphor and aromatic herbs, and a warm and muscular style.

Another winning streak in Japan
While only started in 2019, the Tokyo Whisky & Spirits Competition is already considered one of the most influential spirits contests all over the world. The reason for its importance is simple: it involves a large number of industry experts in its panel of judges (259 tasters for this edition!), and it is organized in a very structured and professional way. First a session of remote tastings at the beginning of the year, then a second session in Tokyo at the end of spring: all the spirits are tasted blindly, each of them is evaluated by at least eight jurors, and the result is complete fairness and impartiality of the results. Only taste matters in the end!
And since we are quite confident of our own taste in selecting whisky casks… well, it’s nice to see that the Japanese experts agree with us!
So, once again, we came home with a nice handful of medals… Of all the 832 spirits that entered the competition, Wilson & Morgan received a prize for all of the four entries which had been submitted.
“Superior Gold”:
Glenlossie 15yo (2008-23) Sherry Finish PX - Exclusive for ePower W&M517 (52,1%)
...It was also awarded “Best of Category”

Another award for our superb Panama 21 Core Series Decanter!
Our Panama 21 recently received the prestigious gold medal, from the 2024 Tokyo Whisky & Spirits Competition. A true honour, and in our humble opinion, well deserved for this outstanding rum.
Other than this gold medal, Panama 21 has also previously been awarded a gold medal from the 2022 London Spirits Competition, as well as been named Rum of the Year at the 2022 London Spirits Competition. A truly great rum, that keeps receiving the recognition it deserves.
