Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep, luminous amber with copper-gold highlights and a honey-bronze glow, evoking autumn sunlight on aged oak.
Nose
An inviting bouquet of coconut cream and caramelized sugar leads, brightened by vanilla and a whisper of toffee. Spices—cinnamon, nutmeg, clove—weave through polished oak, delivering a refined, time-worn sweetness. A hint of orchard fruit and subtle sherry-cask depth lingers, hinting at elegance and the legacy of four decades in the cask.
Palate
Silky and lavish on the palate, this grain whisky unfolds with coconut cream leading toffee-like caramel and a cascade of baking spices. Luxuriously smooth with velvety texture, subtle oak, and a gentle warmth that carries through a long, contemplative finish—resonant with memory and time, a refined balance of sweetness and spice that lingers.
Finish
An opulent, lingering finish that unfolds with coconut cream and caramel, threaded with warm spices. Velvet oak and a whisper of sherry carry the sweetness into a long, refined fade, leaving dried-fruit notes, almond, and a final kiss of nutmeg and cinnamon.
