Tasting Notes
Colour
Radiant golden amber with honeyed depth and a coppery glow.
Nose
Elegant and fragrant, bright citrus zest and crisp green pear rise first, softened by velvety vanilla and honey. Subtle almond and delicate oak give structure, while a whisper of sherry brings dried fruit, cocoa nib, and a warm, toasty note. A refined Speyside aroma with quiet spice that invites thoughtful tasting.
Palate
Silky, medium-bodied and inviting, it delivers orchard fruit—pear and golden apple—folded with honey and vanilla. Sherry-cask sweetness adds dried raisin, almond, and a touch of cocoa, while soft malt and spice weave through the mid-palate. Creamy texture, a delicate warm glow, and a long, nutty finish with citrus zest and a hint of oak.
Finish
Long, luxurious finish with sherry-draped sweetness. Dried fruit notes—raisin and fig—linger with orange zest, cocoa, and creamy oak. A gentle spice unfolds, with toasted almond and a whisper of espresso, fading to a warm, honeyed glow.
