Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with a warm mahogany depth and subtle coppery highlights
Nose
Dry, austere and oak-forward, the nose opens with savoury leafy green fruit riding atop firm oak. Ginger warmth and peppery spice weave through the aroma, while subtle herbal resin and a hint of mineral edge reveal years in cask and the Highland character.
Palate
Dry and austere on the palate, with savoury leafy green fruit and substantial, firm oak. Ginger notes and peppery spice braid through the mid-palate, delivering a crisp, lingering finish that carries a warm cask-strength glow.
Finish
Long and dry, the finish is oak-forward and austere, with savoury leafy-green fruit giving way to a steadfast spice echo. Ginger and white pepper linger, carried on dry tannins that slowly subside, leaving a refined, lasting grip.
