Tasting Notes
Colour
Natural golden amber with a sunlit glow.
Nose
Bright citrus zest and orchard fruit rise on a waxy, honeyed frame, spun with creamy vanilla and toasted oak. Subtle coastal salinity hints at Clynelish, while delicate sherry notes fold in dried fruit and almond. Fresh, summery aromas weave a polished bouquet with a light, elegant spice.
Palate
Bright, sun-kissed and elegant on the palate, it pours orchard fruit and citrus zest balanced by vanilla and honey. Creamy toffee and almond mingle with a gentle spice, while a waxy Clynelish edge adds a coastal lift. Subtle oak and a refined sweetness linger, finishing with silky warmth.
Finish
Sunlit and refined, the finish unfolds with vanilla and citrus zest, carried by a light maritime waxiness from Clynelish. Spiced honey and almond drift through the palate, while soft oak and bourbon-derived warmth recede into a clean, lingering echo that invites another measured sip.
