Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with warm copper-gold highlights.
Nose
Sherry-kissed and refined: dried fig and raisin unfold with orange zest, vanilla, toffee and almond from the oak. A delicate spice weave - cinnamon, nutmeg - drifts beside caramel and a whisper of maritime brine. Subtle floral hints keep it buoyant, delivering a polished, dessert-like sweetness that whispers of Lowland elegance.
Palate
Silky and refined on the palate, it opens with soft malt, a whisper of sea air and gentle brine. Sherry-cask depth brings dried fruits, raisin and orange zest, with almond, cocoa and a hint of toffee. Spices—cinnamon and nutmeg—weave through creamy barley and warm oak. The finish is long and composed, lightly salted, with renewed sweetness and a maritime, voyage-like resonance.
Finish
An enduring maritime finish that lingers with warm sherry sweetness and gentle spice. Dried fig, raisin and cocoa drift with orange zest and vanilla, while oak adds subtle tannic complexity. A soft briny kiss fades into a long, polished finish, leaving a velvet-smooth sweetness that echoes the QE2's storied voyage.
