Tasting Notes
Colour
Rich amber-gold with sunlit honey tones and coppery edges.
Nose
Sun-warmed apricot and peach draped in Sauternes honey, with orange blossom and candied citrus. A rich malt backbone supports the dessert-wine sweetness, while vanilla, almond and toffee mingle with a whisper of spice from the oak.
Palate
Opulent and full-bodied, the palate greets with botrytis-sweet fruit—honeyed apricot, peach and marmalade—woven with fig and a hint of almond. Vanilla, spice and toasted oak thread the creamy malt, delivering dessert-wine richness that sits boldly against the Speyside backbone. At cask strength, warmth and length persist, leaving a rich, honeyed finish.
Finish
Long, opulent finish cloaks the palate with honeyed apricot, peach and fig from the Sauternes cask, evolving into toasted oak and vanilla. The cask-strength warmth lingers gracefully, with a whisper of spice and almond that threads through the malt, delivering a luxurious, dessert-wine rich finale.
