Tasting Notes
Colour
Pale gold with sun-kissed straw tones and a whisper of honey at the rim, refined and luminous.
Nose
A poised, delicate nose that speaks of refined Speyside elegance. Fresh orchard fruits—pear and apple—lead into honeyed barley, vanilla, and a whisper of toasted oak. Subtle sherry sweetness adds dried fruit, cocoa notes, and a gentle spice, all woven into a soft, airy perfume.
Palate
Silky, refined palate with delicate sweetness and poise. Orchard fruits—apple and pear—meld with honeyed vanilla, almond and a whisper of cocoa. Sherry-cask depth adds dried fruit and raisin, weaving in soft spice and elegant oak. Long, graceful finish with persistent warmth and understated luxury.
Finish
Long, elegant finish with satin-smooth grace. Delicate dried fruit notes of fig and apricot drift into vanilla and almond, then a soft sherry ribbon appears. Cocoa, toasted oak spice, and a whisper of warmth linger gracefully, leaving a refined, persistent glow.
