Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with copper-gold highlights and a warm, honeyed bronze glow.
Nose
Marsala-rich nose of ripe apricot, fig and raisin, layered with almond, hazelnut and honey. Subtle orange zest, vanilla and spice drift over warm oak, delivering a nutty, dessert-wine sweetness. The Highland backbone lends poise to a lush, syrupy aroma.
Palate
Opulent, full-bodied palate with Marsala-sweet richness: raisin, fig, roasted almond and hazelnut, coaxed by caramel and toffee, with a touch of orange zest. Creamy, velvety mouthfeel from cask-strength and oak-spice that lingers into a long, warming finish.
Finish
Marsala-cask finish delivers a long, luscious procession of dried fig, raisin and orange zest, balanced by toasted almond and toffee. Warm spice and oak weave through the sweetness, leaving a nutty, slightly savory echo that lingers with refined warmth.
