Eadie began producing this expression all the way back in 1854, and trademarked the cross logo in 1877 - just a year after the Trade Mark Registration Act became a thing! Trade Mark "X" was produced until the late 1940s, then disappeared. However, the brand has been relaunched by Eadie's great-great-grandson, with a recipe that features 14 of the 16 whiskies that appeared in the original Trade Mark "X", including a couple of closed distilleries!
Nose: Raisins drizzled with spiced rum and Sherry, a hint of grassy peat, oily walnut.
Palate: Mexican chocolate, ripe red berries, brown sugar, another waft of soft peat smoke.
Finish: Juicy apricot and pear notes last on the finish.
