In 1955, Jaguar introduced the most celebrated and competitive derivative of the D-Type, with the striking “Longnose”. The D-Type’s streamlined body was meticulously designed to reduce drag and optimise performance.

Its distinctive fin extended from the driver’s headrest to the rear and became a defining visual characteristic. This fin not only enhanced stability at high speeds but also contributed to the car’s iconic silhouette.

Initially powered by a more powerful 270bhp version of the legendary XK 3.4-litre inline-six engine, the D-type was capable of speeds up to 190 mph, making it one of the fastest cars of its era.

The whisky is a minimum age of 35 years old and drawn from 6 casks. 3 Pedro Ximenez sherry-seasoned European oak hogsheads impart RICH FRUIT and WARM SPICES while 2 oloroso-seasoned American oak casks bring VANILLA and CINNAMON, finally an American oak refill hogshead delivers delicate LIGHT OAK notes. 

RICH DRIED FRUITS, TOFFEE APPLES dusted with CINNAMON. Warm notes of GINGER and NUTMEG interwoven with GREEN APPLE. A warm but subtle finish – hints of RESINOUS WOOD, FRUITS and a slight oily texture.
