The heart of this spirit is a truly iconic and celebrated Speyside single malt whisky, augmented with a drop of another first-rate malt. It has journeyed for more than a quarter of a century through American oak before being finished in a treasured first fill port pipe from Portugal. The Art of Maturation is all about wood and the passage of time. With much anticipation, our Whisky Creations Team at Coleburn nurtured this malt, capturing a beautiful balance between the delicate spirit and the big, rich port pipe influences we called this spirit the Lion.
