Made from corn rather than barley or wheat, this rich, oily, flavoursome whisky is reminiscent of an exceptional old Bourbon. Packed with sweet vanilla and bold, woody spice. Just 202 bottles were released, bottled at 55.3% ABV.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber-gold with warm honey tones and subtle coppery bronze edges.
Nose
Sweet and lightly floral, with pronounced almond and marzipan notes, inviting a warm, nutty confection on the nose.
Palate
Nutty, woody and aldehydic, with grainy undertones. A Battenberg cake‑like sweetness threads through, as oak resin mingles with Madagascan vanilla and honeycomb for a rich, creamy finish.
Finish
Mid-length and creamy, the finish coats the palate with sweet, oily vanilla and warm oak spice, subtle almond marzipan and honeycomb, then softly fades to a honeyed, resinous warmth.
