Tasting Notes
Colour
Golden amber with sunlit honey tones and a rich, inviting glow.
Nose
Silky, creamy malt. Honeyed apricot and peach mingle with the lush sweetness of Sauternes, while vanilla custard and almond lend a soft, dessert-like elegance. A whisper of marmalade, orange zest, and oak spice frames the aroma, with a faint botrytized fruit warmth lingering—refined, lightly sweet, and distinctly sun-kissed.
Palate
Silky and creamy on the palate, this 13-year-old unfolds a honeyed sweetness from the Sauternes cask with refined orchard-fruit notes of apricot and peach. Rich vanilla and custard meld with soft spice, while delicate almond and toffee accents linger. A balanced, lightly sweet, yet deeply structured finish.
Finish
Long, luxurious finish of honeyed apricot and peach, with citrus zest and a creamy vanilla-almond sweetness from the first-fill Sauternes cask. Warm oak spice lingers, the malt’s velvet texture staying at the fore, leaving a refined, lingering sweetness that is elegant and balanced.
