Tasting Notes
Colour
Bright golden honey with warm amber highlights.
Nose
Fresh vanilla from ex-bourbon leads the way, mingling with soft toffee, creamy malt and a touch of citrus zest. Gentle spice, white pepper and cinnamon drift through, while delicate oak sweetness wraps the nose in a smooth Highland elegance.
Palate
Silky and warming on the palate, creamy vanilla from the ex-bourbon casks mingles with light malt and soft sweetness. Subtle spice—cinnamon and white pepper—drifts through to toffee and oak, adding gentle structure. A well-integrated, Highland finish that lingers with warmth and refinement.
Finish
Long, elegant finish with vanilla sweetness and gentle spice lingering over toasted oak. The light malt remains perceptible as the bourbon cask influence fades, leaving a refined, balanced tail that invites slow, contemplative sips.
